The African Climate Foundation (ACF) has partnered strategically with the Environmental Investment Fund (EIF) to support Namibia’s Green Hydrogen Programme.
The partnership aims to enable continued support for the programme’s achievement of its mandate and promote industrialisation by developing various green hydrogen derivatives.
This support comes after the success of two previous collaborative initiatives that established a solid financial and socio-economic argument for the development of hydrogen derivatives in the country and the establishment of the Namibian Implementation Authority Office.
The MoU marks the continuation of a collaborative partnership between the ACF and the Namibian Green Hydrogen Programme, underlining a mutual commitment to developing clean fuel sources and sustainable green industrialisation pathways.
The primary areas of focus under this MoU include technical assistance and implementation support in sustainable finance, green hydrogen, PtX derivatives (Power-to-Chemicals), and green industrialisation.
The ACF energy access and transitions programme manager Sahele Fekede said that through financial assistance and technical expertise, they will contribute to the realisation of Namibia’s vision—positioning itself as a key player in the global green hydrogen sector and achieving its target production of 10-12 million tonnes per annum hydrogen equivalent by 2050.
“Through this partnership, we look forward to working with the Namibian government to ensure environmental and socio-economic guardrails of the highest standards are implemented,” Fekede said.
The ACF, Namibian Green Hydrogen Programme, and the Namibian EIF look forward to a successful collaboration that will continue to drive investment and development of the National Namibian Green Hydrogen Strategy.
