The Minister of International Relations and Trade, Selma Ashipala-Musavyi, presented Namibia's green hydrogen sector to the Chinese business community, amongst other potential sectors.

Ashipala-Musavyi forms part of the delegation accompanying President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah to China.

The minister made the presentation at the business forum held on the sidelines of President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah's official visit to China, where more than 300 business representatives from Namibia and China gathered to explore opportunities for cooperation and investment.

Ashipala-Musavyi highlighted Namibia's strong potential to become a hub for renewable energy production, particularly green hydrogen.

"The world is looking for green hydrogen, and Namibia is looking at the sun. We have some of the highest levels of solar radiation and strongest winds on the planet. Our flagship Tsau ||Khaeb Green Hydrogen Project is not a pipe dream, it is a reality that is attracting billions of dollars in investment."

She further noted that Namibia's ambition goes beyond exporting energy.

"We aim not only to export energy but also to plan, develop and export a new paradigm of clean manufacturing, including green ammonia, sustainable aviation fuel and green steel."
