Dâures Green Hydrogen Village: Revolutionizing Agriculture with Sustainable Energy
Key Ideas
  • The Dâures Green Hydrogen Village project in Namibia plans to produce ammonia sulphate fertiliser starting in late 2026, aiming to support local farmers and expand internationally.
  • The project, powered by solar and wind energy, focuses on green hydrogen production through electrolysis, offering a cheaper and eco-friendly energy source.
  • Community involvement is a key aspect, with local job creation, youth employment, and a 10% community ownership share, emphasizing economic development and sustainability.
  • Despite challenges like production costs and logistics, the project's goal is to ensure farmers receive necessary fertilisers to address food security and support agriculture in Namibia.
The Dâures Green Hydrogen Village project in Namibia is gearing up to revolutionize agriculture by producing ammonia sulphate fertiliser starting in late 2026. Chief executive Jerome Namaseb announced the project's timeline during a media briefing, emphasizing the goal to supply fertilisers to local farmers in the Dâures constituency before expanding to the international market. The project, powered by solar and wind energy, focuses on green hydrogen production through electrolysis, offering a cheaper and more environmentally friendly energy source. The implementation is divided into phases, with the first phase dedicated to research and development, set to be completed by mid-2025. Subsequent phases will focus on production for the international market, with plans to export green ammonia regionally and internationally. The project, supported by a grant from the German government, has already created jobs, with a significant portion sourced locally and a strong emphasis on youth employment and community participation. Namaseb highlighted the importance of addressing unemployment and food security in Namibia, stating that supporting the agriculture industry is crucial. Despite challenges in production costs and logistics, the project remains committed to ensuring farmers have access to essential fertilisers. Ammonia sulphate fertiliser, with its high nitrogen and sulfur content, plays a vital role in treating alkaline soil and supporting plant growth. The project's holistic approach, focusing on sustainability, economic development, and community involvement, showcases a positive outlook on the future of agriculture in Namibia.
