Mauritania Emerges as a Major Player in the Green Hydrogen Industry
Mauritania is making progress in green hydrogen production and export with the aim of becoming a leading global hydrogen exporter. With ample wind and solar energy resources, the country has the potential to produce significant amounts of green hydrogen, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and supporting clean energy. These efforts are expected to bring economic benefits, reduce dependence on fossil fuels, and drive sustainable growth. Mauritania's leadership in the green hydrogen sector serves as an inspiration to other countries pursuing low-carbon economies.
30 GW "AMAN" green hydrogen project
Partner CWP Global
The Glasgow Joint Declaration was signed by the Islamic Republic of Mauritania and CWP Global on November 4th, 2021, during the COP26 Climate Summit in Scotland. The declaration supports the new global goals of accelerating the development of green hydrogen to decarbonize heavy industries and transportation. Mauritania, with its abundant wind and solar energy, has committed to the African Green Hydrogen Alliance and the UN's High-Level Champions for Climate Action. In May 2021, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed to develop the 30GW AMAN green hydrogen project, which is estimated to increase the country's GDP by 50% by 2030. The declaration confirms the implementation of the second phase of the project and sets a timetable for its development, with production set to commence before 2030. The project is expected to have a significant impact on Mauritania's economy by creating jobs and contributing to the global energy transition.
10 GW "NOUR" green hydrogen project
Partner Chariot Energy Group
London-based company Chariot has entered into a memorandum of understanding with the Mauritanian government for the production and export of green hydrogen through the Nour project. With a planned capacity of 10 GW, the project will utilize renewable energy sources, solar and wind, to produce clean electricity via electrolysis. The Mauritanian government has granted Chariot exclusive rights to approximately 14,400 square kilometers of land and offshore area for pre-feasibility and feasibility studies. The company plans to begin its assessment of wind and solar resources, environmental impact, and macroeconomic and social impact studies immediately. The Nour project has the potential to make Mauritania a leading producer and exporter of green hydrogen, bringing environmental, economic, and social benefits to the country.
