Namibia is strategically positioning itself in the green hydrogen sector by collaborating with South Africa to establish joint infrastructure and knowledge-sharing mechanisms. The countries are planning a cross-border pipeline project to transport green hydrogen and ammonia from Namibia to South Africa's Northern Cape, supporting cleaner mining and industrial activities. This initiative follows the recent SA Green Hydrogen Summit, where Namibian officials attended to exchange insights. Additionally, Namibia is engaging with other African nations like Botswana, Ghana, and Kenya to share green hydrogen knowledge and promote a continental green industrial ecosystem. The country's surplus production capacity will drive the need for regional integration. Namibia's proactive approach, strong policy framework, and initial investments in concept projects are highlighted as key enablers of this green hydrogen diplomacy. The Global African Hydrogen Summit in Windhoek further underscores Africa's focus on green hydrogen for sustainable industrial development, attracting a diverse range of global delegates to discuss the continent's energy future.
