Flagship Green Hydrogen Initiatives:
Project Aman (CWP Global): A massive 30 GW renewable energy project targeting 1.7 million tons of green hydrogen and 10 million tons of green ammonia annually, positioning it among the world’s largest clean energy ventures.
Project Nour (Chariot): A major 10 GW project utilizing solar and wind, aiming for completion by 2030, further solidifying Mauritania’s large-scale hydrogen ambitions.
Megaton Moon Project (GreenGo Energy): A phased development targeting 6 GW of electrolysis, starting with 500 MW by late 2029, designed to scale with market demand and support local green industries.
Masdar-Conjuncta Export Project: A collaboration (Masdar, Infinity Power, Conjuncta) planning 10 GW electrolyser capacity focused on exporting up to 8 million tons of renewable fuels annually, primarily to Europe, leveraging Mauritania’s strategic location.
Driving Industrial Decarbonization:
Beyond export, Mauritania is integrating green hydrogen domestically. A partnership between SNIM and ArcelorMittal aims to produce 2.5 million tons of green steel annually, showcasing a commitment to value creation and greener industry.
A Pro-Investment Environment:
Mauritania’s government is actively fostering growth through:
A dedicated Green Hydrogen Law providing clear regulations.
The Mauritanian Agency for Green Hydrogen (AMHV) to guide the sector.
Attractive tax incentives for developers.
World Bank support (DREAM Project) enhancing energy infrastructure and regulatory implementation.
A Strategic Opportunity
Mauritania’s convergence of vast renewable resources, strategic location, large-scale project commitments from leading international partners, and a dedicated regulatory framework creates a compelling investment proposition. These initiatives promise substantial economic benefits, including significant GDP growth, widespread job creation, and the establishment of a major new export industry.
By leveraging its natural advantages and fostering a conducive investment climate, Mauritania is not just participating in the green hydrogen revolution – it is positioning itself to lead it in Africa and make a substantial contribution to global decarbonization efforts. The Mauritania Portal invites investors and partners to explore the immense opportunities within this dynamic and rapidly evolving sector.
