<\/a>The UAE is exploring Kenya\u2019s hydrogen sector:<\/strong> UAE-based renewables company Amea Power \u2014 a subsidiary of Emirati investment company Al Nowais \u2014 is looking to establish a 1 GW green hydrogen plant in Kenya\u2019s Mombasa port, Bloomberg<\/a> writes, referencing statements by company Chair Hussain Al Nowais. The UAE developer could increase its green hydrogen production capacity in the country provided market demands prove the project feasible.<\/p>\n

Part of Amea\u2019s wider African expansion: <\/strong>The UAE company committed to mobilizing USD 5 bn<\/a> to finance development of several renewable energy projects in Africa that would yield a 5 GW power capacity by 2030 last week. Earlier this month, Amea Power finalized feasibility studies<\/a> for two 1 GW green hydrogen projects in Djibouti and Egypt. The investment ticket for Amea\u2019s planned Djibouti project \u2014 which will rely on wind and solar energy projects with a 2.2 GW generation capacity \u2014 is expected to exceed USD 2 bn. Amea plans to use the green hydrogen it generates in each plant as feedstock to produce 700k tons of green ammonia annually, which would be used for export to international markets.<\/p>\n

Kenya\u2019s hydrogen sector is moving along: <\/strong>Kenya President William Ruto inked an agreement with the EU to bolster national green hydrogen generation capacity on the sidelines of the three-day Africa Climate Summit in Nairobi last week, according to a statement<\/a>. The agreement will see the EU provide EUR 12 mn (c. USD 13 mn) in green financing grants to support the country\u2019s development of a national green hydrogen roadmap. Kenya wants to develop infrastructure necessary for clean hydrogen production under state targets to source 100% of its energy from clean energy by 2030<\/a>, and ultimately become carbon-neutral by 2050<\/a>. The country \u2014 whose population is battling acute food deficiency<\/a> \u2014 is looking to tackle food insecurity via net-zero energy sources. \u201cThe green hydrogen economy will enhance food security, including the expansion of Kenya\u2019s green production of tea, coffee, horticulture, floriculture and cereals. It will also facilitate the decarbonisation of our industries and indeed the economy,\u201d Ruto said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
