The population of Vanuatu is just under 200,000 inhabitants, and the government recently decided that the country would endeavour to introduce a hydrogen economy. The ultimate goal is to achieve a total halt in the import of oil by 2010. In order to achieve this, the country desires to enter into technological co-operation with industrialised countries.
Vanuatu desires to produce hydrogen from renewable energy and to utilise modern cars, ships, busses and electric generators that utilise hydrogen or electricity for fuel.
