In Africa, increasing investment in renewable sources has led to significant cost reductions.
As a notable example, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), solar photovoltaic (PV) costs have decreased by over 80% as 2010.
With growing capacities in wind and solar energy, green hydrogen is becoming a transformative solution—offering a cleaner choice for high-intensity industries such as steel production and shipping. As countries in Europe race to secure partnerships with African nations, they are entering into agreements that leverage the continent’s considerable solar and wind potential.
Currently, Africa boasts more than 114 gigawatts (GW) of green hydrogen projects in various stages of advancement across over 52 sites including Mauritania, Egypt, Angola, Morocco, and Djibouti.
however, hurdles remain. The International Energy Agency’s (IEA) report from 2023 raised concerns regarding financing and export viability—pointing out market uncertainties, limited investor interest, and rising production costs as significant obstacles.
To explore the future landscape for green hydrogen in Africa further,read our detailed piece here. We spoke with Dr. Nicodemus Nyandiko—a prominent expert on sustainable development and risk management—with over twenty years of experience.his roles include serving on the African Science and Technology Advisory Group for Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), co-founding the Climate Mobility Research Network in Africa; he also advises global platforms dealing with disaster displacement issues.
This year saw Dr. Nyandiko join the Santiago Network tasked with addressing climate-linked loss and damage.
Q: what is your vision for green hydrogen within Africa’s energy framework? What opportunities alongside challenges do you see when it comes to scaling production while ensuring local value creation?
A:
Green hydrogen is rapidly emerging as a crucial clean energy source that enhances conventional renewables like hydroelectricity, wind power, ,solar power… .
Its primary goal is to decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors reliant on fossil fuels like coal or oil—contributing significantly towards a global transition away from traditional energy sources.
Nations such as China,Germany,and Japan are spearheading developments within this domain by utilizing advanced electrolysis technologies capable of efficiently splitting water into essential elements:hydrogen& oxygen.The integration rates at which these countries accomplish this offer benchmarks idealizing large-scale productions across varying locales represented by continent-wide initiatives aimed specifically at exporting them back home primarily originating from resources initially allocated domestically.
