Angola is set to take a significant step towards energy transition and economic growth with its first green hydrogen project. Spearheaded by Sonangol in partnership with CWP, Gauff Engineering, and Conjuncta, the 600 MW development aims to begin production in 2027, with a focus on generating 400,000 tons of green hydrogen annually. This initiative underlines Angola's vast potential in the green hydrogen market, leveraging its existing energy infrastructure for export opportunities. The project includes plans for a demonstration plant to train engineers, recognizing green hydrogen's pivotal role in industry applications and energy storage. Vladimir Machado highlighted the anticipated surge in global green hydrogen demand and emphasized the shift of high-energy-demanding sectors towards green hydrogen as a crucial component of the transition to a carbon-free economy. Furthermore, Machado sees Africa well-positioned to dominate the green hydrogen value chain, citing initiatives like the European Union's green hydrogen targets and Germany's H2Global program as opportunities for the continent. With a positive sentiment towards green hydrogen, Angola's ambitions align with the global trend towards sustainable energy practices and offer promising prospects for the region's industrialization and economic development.
