Egypt is advancing its low-carbon energy ambitions with a significant allocation of land in the Red Sea Governorate to support green hydrogen development and associated infrastructure.

Kemet Industries Group and China based energy storage manufacturer Cornex have signed a cooperation agreement to establish a battery manufacturing facility in Egypt with an annual production capacity of 5 gigawatt hours.

Egypt’s green hydrogen ambitions are increasingly defined by execution rather than announcements, with Scatec’s 100 megawatt project in the Ain Sokhna Industrial Zone now serving as a functioning pilot for export-oriented renewable hydrogen and ammonia.

Carbon markets remain a marginal contributor to global climate finance, but Nigeria is positioning them as a material revenue stream within its broader energy transition strategy.

Africa’s green hydrogen pipeline tells a story of scale without execution: while developers have announced roughly 38 gigawatts of planned clean hydrogen capacity across the continent, only about 17 megawatts are currently operational.

German developer Möhring Energie has signed a framework agreement with the Mauritanian government that grants access to tax incentives under the country’s Hydrogen Code, a regulatory package enacted in September 2024 to accelerate large scale Power to X investment.

Plug Power confirmed the installation of its 5 MW GenEco proton exchange membrane electrolyzer for Cleanergy Solutions Namibia at a site near Walvis Bay, marking what the companies describe as Africa’s first fully integrated green hydrogen production and distribution facility.

Mauritania’s hydrogen pipeline took a decisive step forward with a new strategic framework agreement granting Möhring Energie 500 km² to build one of the country’s most advanced power-to-X projects to date.

The European Union’s flagship green hydrogen import strategy is confronting hard economic realities in Namibia, where the €10 billion Hyphen…

By 2030, Africa could emerge as a key supplier of green hydrogen to Europe—but only if European policy interventions address the continent’s prohibitive financing conditions.
