The global green energy company, Fortescue Future Industries, is proposing a joint venture with the Namibian government to produce electrolysers for Green Hydrogen.

Fortescue Future Industries Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Mark Hutchinson, revealed this during a courtesy call on President Hage Geingob at State House.

Electrolysers are apparatus that produce hydrogen through a chemical process, and Namibia would need them in light of its plan to produce green hydrogen.

In terms of the proposal, Fortescue Future Industries says the joint-venture model would be on a 50/50 basis.

The Green Hydrogen Council of Namibia has already done an expert analysis of the proposal.

The Council is expected to pronounce itself after its meeting next week.

Fortescue Future Industries is one of the companies that submitted a bid to develop Green Hydrogen around the Tsau-||Khaeb National Park but lost out to Hyphen Hydrogen Energy.

It operates renewable energy, green hydrogen, and green ammonia projects in more than 20 countries.
