Namibia Forges Ahead with Green Hydrogen Agenda Ahead of Invest in African Energy Forum in Paris

Namibia has reached another milestone in the development of its green hydrogen economy, inking a deal with green hydrogen development company HYPHEN Hydrogen Energy for the next phase of a $10 billion project set to be located in the Namib Desert’s Tsau//Khaeb National Park. As per the terms of the agreement, green hydrogen will be exported to Europe following the completion of the project, thereby consolidating the country’s position as a global hydrogen hub.

The milestone comes just week ahead of the African Energy Chamber’s (AEC) Invest in African Energy Forum in Paris, a pivotal gathering that brings together movers and shakers from across the African and European energy sectors.
