Namibia and the EU have launched a strategic roadmap for the development of sustainable raw materials value chains and green hydrogen in the southern African country, thereby advancing a partnership signed between the two in 2022.
Incorporating a technical study, the roadmap outlines concrete steps for transforming the Port of Walvis Bay in Erongo Region into a regional and logistics hub, and is poised to drive green industrialization, economic decarbonization, job creation, and energy development in the southern African country.
Representing the next steps for the partnership, the 2023-2025 roadmap is endorsed by European Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen, and Namibia’s President, Hage Geingob, and is backed by $1.05 billion in investments by the EU and its member states.
