Namibia has become a focal point for green hydrogen over the past two years, with several large-scale projects driving attention from developers and financiers. Despite this, political manifestos in Namibia have not extensively addressed this emerging sector. The country stands at the cusp of a significant economic transformation through its green hydrogen industry, offering promise for renewable energy goals and economic advancement. However, there is a looming concern about the 'Dutch disease', where excessive wealth from one booming sector can harm other industries by strengthening the local currency and reducing competitiveness in exports. Namibia's pegged currency to the South African rand offers some protection, but not a complete shield against this economic phenomenon. To navigate these challenges, Namibia must focus on diversifying its economy, managing green hydrogen revenues wisely, enhancing skills development, and ensuring that the sector bolsters local industries rather than weakening them. By fostering sustainable growth through diversified planning and support for various sectors, Namibia can leverage green hydrogen as a catalyst for national development.
