Image by GreenGo Energy () Danish renewable energy developer GreenGo Energy Group on Monday unveiled plans for a huge green energy project in Mauritania that will involve 60 GW/190 TWh of hybrid solar and wind generation and 35 GW of electrolysis capacity.
The report’s analysis finds that expanding renewable generation capacity in Mauritania could improve the sustainability of mining operations, which currently represent close to a quarter of the country’s GDP. These operations are energy-intensive, and mines currently rely predominantly on fossil fuels for their electricity supply.
Renewable Energy Opportunities for Mauritania finds that the country could deploy these resources at scale to generate low-cost renewable electricity and hydrogen through electrolysis.
The sustainable development of Mauritania’s high-quality wind and solar resources could serve as a catalyst for the country to achieve its vision of strong and inclusive economic growth, according to a new IEA report published today.
Mauritania currently has the largest pipeline of renewable hydrogen projects to 2030 in sub-Saharan Africa. However, successfully implementing these projects is conditional on attracting sufficient investment, which in turn depends on reducing risk by securing demand from foreign offtakers.
Proximity to load centers in EU is an additional benefit.“ he said. The European Commission recently launched a new initiative to help Mauritania develop its green hydrogen industry. Last week, renewables developer CWP Global said it is making progress on a planned 30-GW green hydrogen development in Mauritania.
