Hydrogen Partnerships with Africa
Salon: Shaping a Common Green Future
November 17, 2020
online / Zoom
The ongoing global pandemic poses significant economic challenges for Africa and Europe. However, every crisis also presents opportunities. For our neighboring continent, it offers the chance to diversify the African market.
By producing green hydrogen, African countries can reduce their dependence on raw materials. At the same time, the issue of climate-neutral energy supply is becoming more important for political and economic stakeholders in Europe.
The African continent is well-positioned to become a driving force behind green hydrogen production. This technology could accelerate the continent’s economic development and advance Europe’s transition to a carbon-neutral energy supply. Together with experts from business and research, we discussed how energy partnerships between Africa and Europa could look like.
