Mayer Brown, a legal firm based in Paris, has played a crucial role in advising the Government of the Islamic Republic of Mauritania on establishing the Green Hydrogen Code. This legislation, recently approved by the National Assembly, is set to open doors for investors to undertake green hydrogen projects in Mauritania, leveraging the country's abundant wind and solar resources. The aim is to not only expand access to modern energy but also to drive economic growth and propel the nation towards sustainable development.
