The debate in Namibia revolves around the Hyphen project in the Tsau //Khaeb National Park, where the potential creation of tens of thousands of jobs clashes with the need to preserve a pristine national park. The country's economic challenges, as highlighted in the Namibia Household Income and Expenditure Survey, emphasize the vulnerability of rural populations and the urban poor to climate change. The promise of the green hydrogen sector in creating jobs and alleviating poverty is seen as a welcome boost, although concerns over habitat disruption and species endangerment must be addressed. Namibia's renewable energy potential and history of socio-economic inequality make it an ideal location for green hydrogen production. The country aims to balance economic growth with environmental preservation by leveraging green hydrogen to empower the youth and achieve sustainable development. International partnerships in the green hydrogen sector offer opportunities for knowledge transfer, capacity building, and foreign investments, paving the way for a prosperous and sustainable economic future. By investing in green hydrogen, Namibia aims to harmonize economic growth and environmental protection, leading as a global leader in decarbonisation efforts.
