Green hydrogen project, Namibia
Name of the Project
Green hydrogen project.
Location
Tsau //Khaeb National Park, Namibia.
Project Owner/s
Namibia Investment Promotion and Development Board (NIPDB).
Project Description
The project involves the construction of Namibia’s first large-scale, vertically integrated green hydrogen project.
The project will produce 300 000 t/y of green hydrogen for regional and global markets, either as pure green hydrogen or in derivative form (green ammonia).
The first phase will result in the creation of 2 GW of renewable electricity generation capacity to produce green hydrogen for conversion into green ammonia.
Further expansion phases in the late 2020s will expand combined renewable generation to between 3 GW and 5 MW of electrolyser capacity.
Potential Job Creation
The project is expected to create 15 000 direct jobs during the four-year construction of both phases, with a further 3 000 jobs to be permanently created during the 40-year operational phase.
Capital Expenditure
Phase 1 will cost $4.4-billion, with subsequent phases to cost $5-billion for a total capital expenditure of $9.4-billion.
Planned Start/End Date
The first phase is expected to enter production in 2026.
