Africa's Green Hydrogen Revolution: Investment Opportunities and Growth Prospects
Key Ideas
  • Africa's green hydrogen production capacity is projected to reach 50 million tons annually by 2035, driven by abundant renewable energy resources and rising energy demand.
  • The African Energy Week 2024 conference in Cape Town will host a dedicated hydrogen summit to discuss ongoing projects, future investment opportunities, and global partnerships in green hydrogen.
  • Countries like Tunisia and Mauritania are advancing green hydrogen projects, aiming to produce and export significant amounts of green hydrogen to meet both domestic and international demands.
  • The Daures Green Hydrogen Village project in Namibia aims to become Africa's first 100% net-zero green community, showcasing a pilot project for large-scale green hydrogen production and export.
Africa is on the trajectory to become a global green hydrogen hub, with an expected growth in green hydrogen production capacity to 50 million tons per year by 2035. The continent's vast renewable energy resources and appealing fiscal policies have attracted significant investments, especially with energy demand expected to double by 2040. The upcoming African Energy Week 2024 conference in Cape Town will feature a hydrogen summit to address ongoing projects and investment opportunities. Global demand for alternative fuels has positioned Africa as a prime investment market, with the EU, Middle East, and Americas showing interest in Africa's green hydrogen potential. Projects like the one in Tunisia, aiming to produce 600,000 tons of green hydrogen annually, and Mauritania's plans for 12.5 million tons annually by 2035 highlight the continent's commitment to green hydrogen. The Daures Green Hydrogen Village project in Namibia is set to become Africa's first 100% net-zero green community, showcasing a pilot project for large-scale green hydrogen production and export. The summit aims to explore green hydrogen's role in achieving climate goals and fostering global partnerships, emphasizing its significance in Africa's energy future.
