Are North African energy storage projects green?
📌

Does Africa have a green hydrogen sector?

However, despite its promise, the green hydrogen sector in Africa faces several challenges that need to be addressed to unlock its full potential. Africa’s green hydrogen potential is immense, particularly in North African countries such as Egypt, Algeria, and Morocco.

📌

Is North Africa ready for a green hydrogen economy?

Despite the many bright prospects, a realistic assessment of the path to a green hydrogen economy in North Africa reveals it is not without its fair share of challenges. Hydrogen production through electrolysis requires significant amounts of water, which is already scarce in many parts of North Africa.

📌

Could green hydrogen revolutionise North Africa's economic landscape?

The development of green hydrogen in North Africa holds transformative potential, offering a route to clean energy production that could redefine the region’s economic landscape.

📌

Where does North Africa Invest in renewables?

So far, most of the investments are concentrated in Morocco and Egypt. Contrary to the global trend in the period of - which shows private sector financing as the primary source of funding for renewables development, North Africa sees public finance play a far more important role.

📌

Is North Africa a green hydrogen mega-producer?

However, this transition is not without its complexities and challenges. As covered in our recently published Outlook Report, The State of African Energy, North Africa offers several compelling advantages, marking it as a prospective green hydrogen mega-producer.

📌

Why is renewable electricity so important in North Africa?

Over the last decade, renewable electricity in North Africa has grown more than 40%, driven by the rapid expansion of wind, solar photovoltaic and solar thermal. Renewables play a minor role in the transport sector across the region, with still few electric vehicles that can use renewable power and low levels of biofuels.
