The government of the Republic of Niger has inked a deal with Emerging Energy Corporation (EEC), German energy solution provider, to collaborate on commercial green hydrogen projects in Niger.
EEC will also invest in a number of projects in Niger to use Carbon Capture technology to decarbonize oil field activities and refineries. Green hydrogen will be created in Niger using renewable energy and electrolysis. This low-carbon approach will help Niger, Africa, Europe, and other nations that rely heavily on fossil fuels to decarbonize their emission-intensive sectors.
The Government of Niger and Emerging Energy Corporation both agree that hydrogen is critical for Europe, America, and Africa in the transition to a zero-emission future.
Both parties will look for ways to increase demand for the product and position Niger as a regional center for green hydrogen generation. Green hydrogen generated in the Niger Republic is a key driver for industrial decarbonization and process electrification, as it is derived from renewable sources, as well as providing more competitive and decentralized dynamics by bringing together diverse market sectors.
