Introducing the Hydrogen Demonstration Hub Namibia - the perfect location for green energy harvesting and fuel conversion. Namibia is a politically stable African country situated near major shipping trade-lanes, making it an ideal spot for renewable energy. Furthermore, the country has enormous potential for cheap green electricity sourcing, making it an excellent choice for eco-friendly fuel development.

CMB.TECH recognizes the significance of local integration in sustainable project planning, and thus established ajoint venture with Ohlthaver & List, a local Namibian company. The Hydrogen Demonstration Hub project, which includes a training and education centre to provide the local Namibians with necessary knowledge and skills, was decided upon at the end of 2021.

The Hydrogen Demonstration Hub will produce hydrogen for local applications such as trucks, locomotives, and port & mining equipment. By the first quarter of 2024, the demonstration project will be up and running, featuring a 5 MW electrolyser and a 5.5 MW(p) solar park. With the implementation of this sustainable project approach, CMB.TECH is confident in its project success.
