Namibia green hydrogen project secures second AfDB grant  BioEnergy Times

[New Era] Namibia's ambition to establish itself as a major global producer of green hydrogen and its derivatives received a significant vote of confidence, with the African Development Bank (AfDB) selecting Hyphen Hydrogen Energy for a prospective US$5.93 million (about N$100 million) reimbursable grant to advance its flagship green hydrogen project towards Final Investment Decision (FID).

The signing took place at the African Union’s Permanent Observer Mission to the United Nations in New York.

Connecting investment in prevention of violent extremism with wider development efforts can mitigate the risk of instability, protect development gains and strengthen the sustainability of development investments. “This partnership reflects the simple but important idea that investment in...
