A new study by the International Solar Alliance highlights the readiness of Egypt, Morocco, Namibia, and Ethiopia to contribute significantly towards the development of a green hydrogen ecosystem. These countries boast vast renewable energy potential, with several initiatives aimed at increasing renewable energy shares. The report emphasizes the rising demand for green hydrogen and the potential integration of hydrogen and metal processing sectors to produce 'green metals' like green steel. Moreover, the study points out a need for focus on freshwater stress and the utilization of seawater desalination facilities for green hydrogen production. Partnerships with the EU, land auctions, shared infrastructure, and international collaborations are key strategies being employed by these countries. The report also underlines the importance of developing downstream industries to utilize green hydrogen effectively and reduce import dependency. Financial challenges in the sector can be overcome through innovative solutions like tax credits and Contracts for Difference. Overall, the development of a green hydrogen ecosystem presents a significant opportunity for sustainable economic growth in these African countries, leveraging their abundant renewable resources and geographical advantages.
