Green Hydrogen Vision

Tonga envisions a future where green hydrogen is central in transitioning to a low-carbon, sustainable energy system. With a strong reliance on renewable energy resources such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric power, Tonga aims to harness these sources to produce green hydrogen as a clean alternative to imported fossil fuels. The country views green hydrogen as an opportunity to decarbonise key sectors, including transportation and industry while enhancing energy security and resilience to climate change. This vision aligns with Tonga’s broader commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, increasing the use of renewable energy, and contributing to global efforts to combat climate change. By developing a green hydrogen economy, Tonga hopes to create new industries, attract investment, and promote sustainable development, positioning itself as a leader in renewable energy in the Pacific region.
