Green hydrogen project, Namibia
Name of the Project
Green hydrogen project.
Location
Tsau //Khaeb national park, in Namibia.
Project Owner/s
HYPHEN Hydrogen Energy has been appointed as the preferred bidder to develop the project. Hyphen will operate the project for a 40-year period, following the conclusion of the feasibility study and sign-off from the Namibia government.
HYPHEN is a joint venture between Nicholas Holdings, a strategic investment and infrastructure project developer, and ENERTRAG South Africa.
Project Description
The project entails the development of Namibia’s first large-scale vertically integrated green hydrogen project.
The project will ultimately produce 300 000 t/y of green hydrogen for regional and global markets, either as pure green hydrogen or in derivative form (green ammonia).
Phase 1 will create 2 GW of renewable electricity generation capacity to produce green hydrogen for conversion into green ammonia.
Further phases will expand combined renewable generation capacity to 5 GW and 3 GW of electrolyser capacity.
Potential Job Creation
About 15 000 direct jobs will be created during the four-year construction of both phases, with a further 3 000 permanent jobs to be created during the operational phase. More than 90% of these jobs created are expected to be filled by Namibians.
Capital Expenditure
$9.4-billion. The first phase of the project will cost about $4.4-billion.
Planned Start/End Date
The first phase is expected to enter production in 2026.
