A recent report from a National Council in Namibia emphasizes the need to properly understand and invest in the green hydrogen industry to fully harness its potential. The report highlights the considerable logistical requirements for developing the sector, including infrastructure like large-scale renewable energy installations and skilled workforce needs. It also points out the skills gap in the country, with a significant demand for low-skilled, manual labor, and highly skilled workers by 2030. The report stresses the importance of upskilling programs to address this gap. The Green Hydrogen Strategy, part of the Harambee Prosperity Plan II, aims to decarbonize sectors like mining and boost energy security, potentially increasing GDP by 34% by 2030 and 50% by 2040. However, challenges remain, such as the need for massive renewable energy capacity and the likelihood that the primary market will be international. The report also raises concerns about environmental challenges, land limitations, and skills shortages. Key recommendations include accelerating renewable energy installations, establishing tax incentives for imported equipment, and implementing workforce training programs. The committee calls for community engagement and specialized regulations to govern green hydrogen activities. The importance of involving local communities in planning and project siting is highlighted, along with the necessity for a legal framework to support the sector. The report underlines the potential economic benefits and job creation opportunities of green hydrogen while acknowledging the hurdles that need to be overcome for Namibia to become a significant player in the global green hydrogen market.
