  • Partnerships with Strathmore University are driving research in green hydrogen production, storage, and distribution to enhance renewable energy capabilities.
  • The shift towards renewable energy not only addresses environmental concerns but also strengthens economies by offering low-cost green energy and boosting competitiveness.
Chris Movirongo, the country director of Fortescue Namibia, highlights the pivotal role of Namibia in embracing renewable energy to combat climate change and ensure economic growth. Namibia's abundance of renewable resources, particularly wind and sunlight, positions the country well for a green energy future. Movirongo advocates for decarbonisation through the adoption of green energy sources like hydropower, geothermal, wind, and solar resources. Fortescue Energy, under Movirongo's leadership, is transitioning towards green energy, technology, and resources, with a focus on meeting the increasing global demand for green hydrogen. Collaborations with institutions like Strathmore University are driving research initiatives in green hydrogen production, storage, and distribution. The partnership between Fortescue and nations like Namibia aims to leverage renewable energy potential for sustainable development and competitiveness in a carbon-conscious world.
