CLEANERGY Solutions Namibia proudly marked the official opening of its green hydrogen production and refuelling facility by Dr. Elijah Ngurare, the Namibian Prime Minister, on behalf of Her Excellency, President Dr. Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The site features a solar-powered, off-grid electrolyser that produces green hydrogen, a refuelling station for hydrogen-powered vehicles and industrial applications, and a hydrogen academy to train Namibians in hydrogen technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The locally produced green hydrogen is already applied for road transport (dual-fuel trucks), off-road applications (dual-fuel tractor), and off-grid power generation (mono-fuel hydrogen genset).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Prime Minister, in the keynote speech, said that the facility is in line with Vision 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This innovative European-Namibian project proves that our partnership delivers. It creates new jobs, provides training opportunities for young Namibians, and supports local SMEs. We support the development of Namibia’s green hydrogen industry with our Global Gateway strategy. The EU has already mobilised \u20ac1.3 billion (N$25 billion) in loans and grants, spurring over \u20ac20 billion (N$400 billion) in potential private investments. Together, we are building Namibia’s green industrialisation,” Ngurare said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also speaking at the occasion, Alexander Saverys, CEO of CMB.TECH, said that this is a platform for value creation and sustainability. “We are building resilient clean energy systems that empower our people and our economy,” Saverys said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that in 2026, the hydrogen activities will expand into rail and maritime applications.
“An idle diesel locomotive will be converted to run on hydrogen, boosting Namibia’s rail potential and support at Walvis Bay port,” Saverys said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, a multi-purpose vessel powered by a dual-fuel hydrogen engine is currently being built in the Netherlands and will be deployed in Walvis Bay port later next year, marking the genesis of Africa’s first hydrogen-powered sea vessel. The CEO said that the hydrogen plant was built over a period of two years by Namibians, employing about 200 Namibians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both applications will be fueled by the locally produced green hydrogen, distributed via a 500-bar mobile refueller for flexible use across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A memorable highlight of the event was when Prime Minister Ngurare refuelled Namibia’s first hydrogen bus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With full-scale hydrogen production now under way, Cleanergy Namibia is reinforcing the country’s continental leadership in green energy and sustainable development while deepening ties with the European continent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
