As many as 41 green hydrogen projects are scheduled to commence construction in Africa by 2030, presenting significant opportunities for investment in green hydrogen production and export infrastructure. North African countries like Egypt, Algeria, and Morocco, known for their abundant year-round sunshine, offer ideal conditions for such projects. European countries, including Germany, Austria, and Italy, are looking to repurpose existing midstream gas infrastructure in North Africa to import large quantities of green hydrogen. While the sector faces challenges such as securing offtake agreements and establishing regulatory frameworks, the long-term outlook is positive. Neil Golding, Director of Market Intelligence at the EIC, mentioned that despite no commercial-scale projects having made a final investment decision yet, countries like Namibia and South Africa are benefitting from EU grants to support hydrogen projects. This support, along with initiatives like Europe's REPowerEU Plan, which aims to reduce the continent's reliance on Russian gas by importing green hydrogen from Africa, indicates a promising future for the sector. The EIC emphasized the need for international cooperation and financing initiatives to address the upfront costs associated with green hydrogen projects. More targeted funding and collaboration will be essential for scaling up hydrogen production in Africa, as highlighted by the EIC. Overall, while challenges exist, the increasing support from the EU and other entities points towards a positive trajectory for green hydrogen projects in Africa.
