The United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (Unido) has announced its support for the Dâures Green Hydrogen Village in Namibia to produce ammonium sulphate fertiliser. This project, set to be completed by 2027, is part of Unido's Accelerate to Demonstrate (A2D) facility, which promotes the adoption of green hydrogen technologies. The funding from Unido will aid in the production of Namibia's first carbon-free green fertiliser, aiming to boost growth and industrialisation in the local agricultural sector. The initiative is in line with global efforts towards sustainable energy and industrial decarbonisation. By focusing on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and providing a low-carbon alternative to traditional ammonia-based fertilisers, the project supports more climate-friendly agriculture practices. Unido's Director General, Gerd Müller, highlighted the importance of such demonstration projects in showcasing sustainable development solutions. Jerome Namaseb, the chief executive of the Dâures Green Hydrogen Village, expressed gratitude for Unido's support, emphasizing the role the funding will play in industrialising and decarbonising the agricultural sector in Namibia. The project aims to address low fertiliser application rates in the country by offering an affordable and locally-produced alternative to imported synthetic options, enabling farmers to enhance nutrient inputs at reduced costs. The A2D facility by Unido is designed to explore innovative energy solutions, with a focus on green hydrogen applications in various industrial sectors. The collaboration among member states, private sectors, and research institutions is crucial for the success of such projects, which are pivotal in meeting climate goals and fostering sustainable development.
