The European Investment Bank (EIB) estimates that Africa could achieve a green hydrogen production capacity exceeding 50 million tonnes per annum by 2035, underscoring the continent’s potential to become a major global player in the sector. The Way Forward: Unlocking Africa’s Green Hydrogen Potential
The Way Forward: Unlocking Africa’s Green Hydrogen Potential To unlock the full potential of green hydrogen, Africa must focus on developing renewable energy infrastructure. Governments should prioritize large-scale solar and wind projects, alongside necessary grid improvements, to support hydrogen production and distribution.
KEY POINTS Africa’s abundant renewable energy resources position it as a global hub for green hydrogen. Challenges include high costs, infrastructure gaps, and regulatory hurdles. Strategic investments and regional collaboration can unlock green hydrogen’s potential.
With countries worldwide targeting a reduced emission of carbon in their efforts towards the green energy economy, green hydrogen is gaining traction as a solution to the carbon emission problem. This greener transport fuel derived from renewable power such as wind and solar energy is a potential way of achieving a carbonless future in Africa
