Hyphen Hydrogen Energy, a company appointed to undertake the large-scale clean energy project in Namibia committed to making Namibia a net zero country by 2030. The Tsau //Khaeb national park project is being developed as the first step in the implementation of the government’s strategy for the development of a large-scale green hydrogen industry in various regions in Namibia. The project will support Namibia’s economic growth and assist the world in achieving its decarbonisation goals.

The project will support Namibia’s economic growth and assist the world in achieving its decarbonisation goals.
This initiative will not only make Namibia the first country in Africa to reach net zero by 2030 but also support the region in the energy transition. If successful this will come with a boost for Namibian people to participate economically. Namibia is a signatory to both the Kyoto Accord and the Paris Agreement, which oblige participants to reduce their carbon dioxide emissions.
Hyphen stated that they feel the weight placed on the country and on their shoulders to deliver upon the ambitions of the Harambee Prosperity Plan, with the potential to transform Namibia’s economy. The hard work of signing the agreement is done, the journey is not going to be easy, as it will be incredibly hard going forward. Hyphen wants to play the role of a stepping stone for Namibia to become a leading green hydrogen producer.

This US$10 billion project is planned to be developed in phases, at full development targeting 350,000 metric tonnes of green hydrogen production a year from 7GW of renewable generation capacity and 3GW electrolyser. The project once fully developed will employ an estimated 3,000 people, with 15,000 construction jobs supported over the four-year construction period. Over 90% of these jobs are expected to be filled by local Namibians.
