West Africa is poised to emerge as a formidable player in the global green hydrogen market, with a visionary policy adopted by the region’s heads of state. This policy not only aims to elevate West Africa as a competitive green hydrogen producer but also envisions significant socioeconomic growth for local communities. By 2023, the region aspires to produce 0.5 million tonnes of green hydrogen annually, with a monumental target of 10 million tonnes per year by 2050.

A new generation of interdisciplinary professionals capable of coming up with customized solutions to the ongoing energy crisis in West Africa would be prepared and trained under the program by Forschungszentrum Julich GmbH and RWTH Aachen University, both universities in Germany, with funding from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, Germany.
