Qualified Namibians are to be given priority for employment under the recently established Green Hydrogen Programme.

The Programme seeks to employ professionals, experts, and enthusiasts with the aim of leveraging renewable resources and energy security for Namibia.

Green Hydrogen Commissioner James Mnyupe says the Programme envisions Namibia as a global leader in green energy production, setting an example for sustainable development worldwide.

So far, eight executive positions have been profiled, and Mnyupe says a hiring agency has been brought on board to identify talent.
