Egypt Green, Africa’s first integrated green hydrogen plantOver the next 12 years, it will be developed in three phases, totalling 3.6GW of electrolysers powered by up to 9GW of solar PV and wind energy. Other potential end-uses of green hydrogen, including green fuels, will be considered in the medium and longer term, once they become commercially feasible. Uganda aspires to green energy generation using hydrogen-based storageNamibia’s first green hydrogen power plant finds financeThis development comes shortly after Namibia, through HDF Energy, was granted a €500 million loan facility by the European Commission to develop the country’s green hydrogen sector. Similarly, Uganda’s Ministry of Energy recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding with HDF Energy to advance green hydrogen development through green power generation using hydrogen-based storage as an alternative source of electricity. The full report, Africa’s Green Energy Revolution: Hydrogen’s role in unlocking Africa’s untapped renewables, is available online.
