Mayer Brown, a global law firm, has provided legal counsel to the Government of the Islamic Republic of Mauritania on the development of the Green Hydrogen Code, enabling the initiation of green hydrogen projects in the country. The legislation, recently approved by the National Assembly, is designed to expand access to modern energy, drive economic growth, and align the energy sector with sustainable development objectives. By focusing on green hydrogen production and associated infrastructure development, Mauritania aims to commence production by 2030, positioning itself as a significant player in the global green energy landscape. The Mayer Brown team, led by partner Olivier Méledo, spearheaded this initiative, marking a pivotal step towards Mauritania's energy security and sustainable development goals.
