Namibia Achieves a Milestone in Green Hydrogen Production

Namibia has taken a groundbreaking step in the renewable energy sector by producing its first green hydrogen at the HyIron Oshivela project. This achievement reinforces the country’s position as a key player in green hydrogen in Namibia, a growing industry that promises to drive Africa’s transition to clean energy.

The facility’s construction began in April 2024 and was completed in under a year, showcasing Namibia’s commitment to rapid and efficient development in the renewable energy space.

The Role of Green Hydrogen in Namibia’s Energy Future

As one of Africa’s most ambitious clean energy initiatives, green hydrogen in Namibia is expected to play a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions and advancing sustainable industrialization. The country has been actively investing in green hydrogen, with support from international partners such as Germany.

A major $10 billion project backed by Germany aims to produce 2 million tonnes of green ammonia and hydrogen derivatives by 2030. This initiative will not only boost Namibia’s economy but also position the nation as a global leader in green hydrogen production.

With continued investment and innovation, Namibia is set to become a major exporter of green hydrogen, attracting international stakeholders looking for sustainable energy solutions.

Namibia’s progress in green hydrogen production is a testament to Africa’s potential in leading the global energy transition. As more projects come online, the country is poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of renewable energy on the continent
