N2 - Green hydrogen has been proposed as a clean and sustainable source of energy with unrivaled potential to play a pivotal role in every country's transition toward a low-carbon economy while striving to achieve Sustainable Development Goals. Herein, we provide perspective of using green hydrogen to enhance the sustainability in Pakistan. As renewable energy resources (e.g. solar and wind power) are abundantly available in Pakistan, the production of green hydrogen linked to renewable energy resources is conscious. As a representative case, the green hydrogen project in Sindh, Pakistan was announced—hydrogen is produced by water electrolysis powered by renewable electricity generated from solar or wind power. The potential of a circular economic approach to green hydrogen production in Pakistan is discussed in terms of policy development, public and private participation, public demand, and public awareness. Green hydrogen is indeed the green light of the future for Pakistan, as it can potentially help boost its economy while mitigating climate change. The insights given by this study can be useful to further develop any future green hydrogen roadmap for Pakistan.
