The Energy Industries Council (EIC) projects up to 41 green hydrogen initiatives in Africa in the next five years to supply Europe and reduce dependence on Russian gas. Despite Africa's renewable energy potential, challenges like securing offtake agreements, developing regulatory frameworks, and building strong infrastructure hinder projects from reaching final investment decisions. European support through significant investments, including over €80m, is advancing green hydrogen industries in countries like Namibia and South Africa. While Africa is making strides with hydrogen roadmaps, storage solutions, and state-owned projects like green ammonia production, unlocking the continent's full potential requires improved regulatory and financing conditions. The Africa Hydrogen Opportunity report suggests that the continent could meet 15% of global hydrogen demand by leveraging renewable energy, estimating a growth from one million tonnes per annum in 2030 to 11 mtpa in 2050, requiring a cumulative investment of $400bn. This growth could increase Africa's export value by $15bn, but higher project financing costs pose a risk. Overall, Africa's hydrogen sector is on the rise, but to fully unlock its potential, there is a need for enhanced regulatory frameworks and financing conditions.
