Namibia is launching a £7.2 billion project to produce green hydrogen, aiming to cover 1,544 square miles in the Tsau Khaeb National Park. This initiative is part of its strategy to become a leader in clean energy. The project will generate between 300,000 and 350,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually, significantly reducing carbon emissions. It is expected to create around 15,000 jobs during construction and 3,000 permanent positions. Supported by the Namibian government and led by Hyphen Energy, the project is set to begin production before 2026. Namibia's abundant wind and solar resources position it as a potential major player in the global green hydrogen market.
