We are committed to supporting these initiatives and are keen on the transformative impact of the JICA - Neev Fund co-creation platform," he stated.

Amit Bansal, CEO, Hygenco Green Energies, elaborated on the global vision of the collaboration. "By synergizing our green fuel supply with Mitsubishi's cutting-edge technology, we aim to play a pivotal role in the decarbonization of power generation and support the global transition to a sustainable energy future," he said.
