A number of countries have shown interest in and are looking for opportunities in Green Hydrogen Projects.

This was confirmed when Vice President Nangolo Mbumba hosted the Prime Ministers of Denmark and the Netherlands.

Mark Rutte, Prime Minister of the Netherlands, stated that the visit was beneficial for Namibia, the Netherlands, and other European countries.

"The focus is, of course, on energy transition in green hydrogen and transition, and why is this so important? It is important first of all for the people here, who will have many more jobs. It is important for Denmark, the Netherlands, and Europe because it will help us get that energy transmission going and make it happen. It is also important for our planet, which will help us fight climate change."

The dialogues saw the countries touching on issues of regulations, registrations, storage, and transportation as some of the relevant issues that need to be taken into consideration when the business and projects kick-off.

Professor Anicia Peters, Chief Executive Officer of the National Commission on Research, Science, and Technology of Namibia, highlighted the need to establish a green hydrogen centre, which will represent both countries participating in the projects.

"We had approximately 19 participants in a round table that was looking at whether we could establish a Dutch-Namibian sort of Green Hydrogen centre. Now all parties in the room had agreed that there is such a need for such a centre to sort of exchange information and that nobody exists in places where there are more opportunities."
