Key implicationsTen green hydrogen projects are at various stages of
development in Africa.Africa has land mass and sunlight, two key characteristics and
project requirements supportive of green hydrogen production.In Africa, 593 renewable power plants are operating with a
total capacity of 64,000 MW and 580 projects are planned with a
capacity of 152,000 MW (see Figure 2).Can Africa become a place where advanced science can be applied
and contribute to improving the environment, i.e., an “El Dorado”
in the new green economy? The global transition to lower carbon
energy sources draws attention to renewables and green hydrogen as
alternatives to fossil fuels. Some of the largest markets in Africa
have taken important steps to evolve their economies away from
highly polluting sources of energy (e.g., woodfire) by implementing
strategies that combine “bridge” or…
Will Africa become the new green hydrogen “El Dorado”?
