A recent study conducted by a team of Mauritanian scientists for Geographia Technica opens up new perspectives for green hydrogen development in the country. By utilizing satellite data from the Global Solar Atlas and the Global Wind Atlas, integrated into a Geographic Information System (GIS), researchers were able to estimate for the first time the potential for green hydrogen production in Mauritania from solar and wind energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the study’s findings, the total annual production of solar electricity ranges between 275 and 329 GWh\/km\u00b2\/year, with the northern regions of Tiris-Zemour and Adrar showing the highest potential. Conversely, the southern regions and those near the Senegal River exhibit lower production levels. For wind energy, values range between 28 and 108 GWh\/km\u00b2\/year, with coastal regions along the Nouadhibou-Nouakchott axis showing the most promise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These data present exciting prospects for Mauritania in its transition to renewable energies. With estimated hydrogen production values between 5,428 and 6,272 tonnes\/km\u00b2\/year for solar and between 23 and 620 tonnes\/km\u00b2\/year for wind, the country has significant potential to become a major player in green hydrogen production in Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Several green hydrogen projects are underway in Mauritania in collaboration with international partners. The AMAN Consigne project, in partnership with CWP Global, aims to develop 30 GW of solar and wind energy, thereby producing 1.7 million tonnes of green hydrogen and 10 million tonnes of green ammonia annually. Additionally, the Nour project, in collaboration with Chariot and Total Eren, plans to produce 10 GW of solar and wind energy, generating 0.75 million tonnes of green hydrogen and 4.5 million tonnes of green ammonia. Another project involving INFINITY, MASDAR, and CONJUNTA aims to develop 15 GW of solar and wind energy, producing 8 million tonnes of green hydrogen each year. British company BP, which is developing the GTA gas project, is also launching a green hydrogen project with a capacity of 30 GW.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
