Green Hydrogen: Powering West Africa's Future at MSGBC 2025
West Africa, Friday, 14 November 2025.
A panel at MSGBC 2025 focuses on green hydrogen’s role in Africa’s energy transition. CWP’s 30 GW project aims to transform energy exports, showcasing a dynamic leap towards sustainable futures.
Green Hydrogen: A Catalyst for Transformation
In the bustling corridors of the MSGBC Oil, Gas & Power 2025 conference, a dedicated panel discussion is generating buzz over green hydrogen’s potential to revolutionise energy exports in West Africa. The star of the show is the ambitious 30 GW Aman project by CWP, aiming to produce up to 1.7 million tonnes of green hydrogen and 10 million tonnes of green ammonia annually. This project is not just a leap towards sustainability but also a beacon for regional collaboration [1][2].
Mauritania: Pioneering Green Hydrogen
Mauritania stands at the forefront of this green revolution. Leveraging its abundant solar and wind resources, the country is crafting an industrial-scale hydrogen production strategy. The recent completion of geological studies marks a critical milestone for CWP’s Aman project, highlighting Mauritania’s commitment to transforming its energy landscape [1][2].
A Regional Powerhouse in the Making
The MSGBC region is not just sitting on its laurels. With projects like GreenGo Energy’s 6 GW Megaton Moon and the Conjuncta-Masdar-Infinity collaboration, the region is gearing up to produce millions of tonnes of hydrogen and ammonia. These initiatives aim to not only meet local energy demands but also position West Africa as a key player in global energy markets [1][2].
Strategic Discussions and Future Visions
The panelists at the conference will delve into the nitty-gritty of aligning regulatory and export infrastructures with these burgeoning projects. By addressing these challenges, the MSGBC region can effectively harness its green hydrogen potential, turning vision into reality. It’s an exciting time, as Africa’s energy landscape is poised for transformation [1][2].
The Road Ahead: Challenges and Opportunities
While the prospects are promising, the path is not without hurdles. Regulatory frameworks, investment models, and infrastructure development are crucial pieces of the puzzle. However, with the right partnerships and strategic planning, the MSGBC region could soon become a global leader in green hydrogen production [1][2].
