GreenGo Energy Downsizing Plans for Megaton Moon Green Hydrogen Project in Mauritania
Key Ideas
  • GreenGo Energy has secured 100,000 hectares of land in Mauritania for its Megaton Moon Green Hydrogen Project, downsizing plans but still aiming to develop 13.1GW of wind and solar capacity.
  • The project will adopt a phased approach, initially installing 500MW of electrolysis and 1.2GW of wind and solar by 2029 to produce 0.34 mtpa of green ammonia.
  • Despite global uncertainties and high prices affecting green hydrogen projects, Minister of Energy and Petroleum in Mauritania expressed confidence in private sector investments in green hydrogen developments.
  • GreenGo Energy plans to finance the project through partnerships with large-scale investors and sees the potential for Mauritania to become a green hydrogen production hub for European industries.
GreenGo Energy has obtained access to 100,000 hectares of land in Mauritania to develop its Megaton Moon Green Hydrogen Project near Nouakchott. The company plans to build 13.1GW of wind and solar capacity to power 6GW of electrolysis, downsizing initial plans significantly. The project aims to produce 0.34 mtpa of green ammonia through a phased approach, beginning with 500MW of electrolysis and 1.2GW of wind and solar by 2029. Despite challenges faced by green hydrogen projects globally, Minister of Energy and Petroleum Mohammed Khaled highlighted the private sector's confidence in the Mauritanian green hydrogen sector. GreenGo Energy intends to finance the project through partnerships with large-scale investors and emphasizes the potential for Mauritania to supply green hydrogen to European industries. The company will focus on detailed surveys and feasibility studies to move the project forward and bring benefits to the region.
