Denmark-based GreenGo Energy’s recent partnership with the Mauritanian government heralds a significant leap towards renewable energy in Africa.
This ambitious initiative aims to establish a large-scale green hydrogen project near Nouakchott, designed to harness the region’s renewable resources. By integrating solar power, wind energy, and electrolysis, the project plans to significantly augment green ammonia production, anticipated to yield approximately 339,000 tonnes annually in its first phase.
The collaboration, formalized through a public-private partnership, allocates over 100,000 hectares for the project’s development. The heart of this venture lies in its phased execution. The inaugural phase, targeted for completion by 2029, will see the deployment of 500 MW of electrolysis supported by 600 MW of both onshore wind and solar PV. These efforts are foundational, marking only the beginning of a broader vision encompassing an eventual 6 GW of electrolysis, along with substantial wind and solar capacities.
GreenGo Energy emphasizes a meticulous approach, mandating comprehensive geotechnical and meteorological assessments. Yet, the financial logistics remain under wraps, with specifics about the funding still undisclosed. Nonetheless, GreenGo’s partnership model suggests reliance on strategic investments, paving the way for both potential investors and the project’s longevity.
