Namibia's energy sector is undergoing significant expansion thanks to substantial oil discoveries and investments in green hydrogen. Major players like TotalEnergies and Shell are actively involved in exploring and developing offshore oil reserves in Namibia. The European Union (EU) has committed substantial funding to bolster Namibia's green hydrogen industry and renewable energy sector, aiming to support the country's energy transition. This surge in investments could position Namibia as a hub for both fossil fuels and renewable energy in Africa. The article discusses various oil exploration activities in Namibia, with companies like Chevron, Eni, and BP's joint venture Azule Energy showing interest in the country's oil assets. Despite the positive developments in renewable energy funding, Namibia's Energy Minister Tom Alweendo stresses the importance of oil and gas revenues for industrialization and poverty alleviation in the country. The minister's stance aligns with other African states looking to leverage their natural resources for economic growth, highlighting a complex debate on balancing fossil fuels and renewable energy in developing nations.
