Burundi's President Évariste Ndayishimiye recently undertook a visit to south China's Guangdong Province to explore opportunities in clean energy collaborations. During his visit to Foshan, which is often dubbed as China's 'hydrogen city,' Ndayishimiye had the chance to tour advanced facilities such as a waste-to-power treatment plant and a hydrogen technology center. The emphasis on hydrogen comes as it is viewed as a cleaner substitute for fossil fuels, playing a crucial role in China's climate strategy. Furthermore, hydrogen is seen as a potential solution to address the expanding energy requirements in Africa due to the continent's population growth and economic development. The article also highlights Beijing's commitment of $50 billion in financial support to Africa over the next three years, with countries like Burundi expected to benefit from this substantial Chinese investment.
