New plans have recently been announced to develop a $34 billion green hydrogen project in Mauritania. The country is aware of the current climate challenges, and has taken ambitious steps in energy transition, with a focus on green hydrogen as one of the pillars of its strategy. As climate change continues to threaten populations worldwide, this Sahelian nation has chosen to position itself as a key player in the fight against climate change.
Since the adoption of its national energy transformation strategy in 2020, Mauritania has set clear objectives, including reaching a 60% share of renewable energies in its energy mix by 2030. This approach is in line with its nationally determined contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement.
Mauritania’s energy potential relies on several assets. First, the upcoming exploitation of the offshore Grand Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA) gas field, shared with Senegal, will provide a vital source of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to meet domestic demand and assert itself in the global market. Additionally, the country benefits from a significant potential in renewable energies, particularly solar and wind, with estimated capacities of 457.9 GW and 47 GW respectively.
The challenge of future energies has led Mauritania to explore the potential of green hydrogen.
Preliminary studies have confirmed the viability of this energy source, supported by the country’s
solar and wind resources. In 2021, framework agreements were signed with international companies specialised in energy transition, marking a crucial step in the development of this sector.
The first agreement concluded with CWP Global, aims to develop a project of 30 gigawatts of wind and solar energy, powering electrolyzers for green hydrogen production. This partnership was
reaffirmed at the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow, highlighting the ongoing commitment to this initiative.
The second agreement, signed with Chariot Ltd in partnership with Total Eren, involves the development of the Nour project, covering a vast land and sea area. This ambitious project, aiming to achieve an electrolysis capacity of 10 GW, demonstrates Mauritania’s growing commitment to green hydrogen and its role in global energy transition.
In 2023, these initiatives progressed with concrete steps towards the implementation of green hydrogen projects in Mauritania. International partnerships are strengthening, while feasibility studies are advancing, paving the way for a new energy era for this West African country.
In conclusion, green hydrogen represents a major opportunity for Mauritania to diversify its energy mix, reduce its carbon footprint, and actively contribute to the global fight against climate change.
Through these innovative projects, Mauritania is positioning itself as a regional leader in the transition towards a green and sustainable economy.
