in Africa. AHP also helps advance the development of hydrogen-based chemicals, fuel-cell technologies and hydrogen related business opportunities in Africa.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><p>Including a broad range of stakeholders, hydrogen associations have emerged around the world to speed up the green hydrogen revolution and make it happen as efficiently as possible. AHP focuses on promoting green hydrogen in Africa and is committed to sourcing hydrogen produced from water by electrolysis powered by renewable energy. This \u2018green hydrogen\u2019 is clean to produce and to consume, with the only emission being water.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The world cannot decarbonise without green hydrogen from Africa.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\"><p>In early 2021, AHP started taking in members and only accepts corporate or institutional members (not individual members) but accepts members from anywhere in the world. AHP maintains that the world cannot decarbonise without green hydrogen from Africa, and believes that if the countries in Africa that are able to produce green hydrogen at a competitive cost can do so, then they will be become significant energy producers which will revolutionise their economies. The realisation is fast gaining traction.<\/p>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">@media only screen and (max-width:1024px) {.fusion-title.fusion-title-2{margin-top:10px!important; margin-right:0px!important;margin-bottom:15px!important;margin-left:0px!important;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-title.fusion-title-2{margin-top:10px!important; margin-right:0px!important;margin-bottom:10px!important; margin-left:0px!important;}}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-2 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-three\" style=\"margin-top:10px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:15px;margin-left:0px;\"><h3 class=\"title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;\">Matching Supply and Demand for Hydrogen<\/h3><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-5\"><p>In 2022, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.irena.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA)<\/a> published a world map showing the potential of various regions around the world for producing green hydrogen; and Sub-Saharan Africa is shown to have, by some margin, the best potential of all.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-6\"><p>Historically, there has been a perception that a gap exists between supply and demand for carbon-free hydrogen, with both sides lacking \u2018secure volumes\u2019 from the other, and that this central problem needs to be overcome before large-scale commercialisation of green hydrogen can get underway. But the real issue is that the commercialisation of low carbon hydrogen will not be possible until green hydrogen can be sold at a competitive price (in relation to fossil fuels) and once this happens then the \u2018chicken-and-egg\u2019 impasse will disappear.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\" awb-imageframe-style awb-imageframe-style-below awb-imageframe-style-1\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-1 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" title=\"cats-cradle\" src=\"https:\/\/hydrogen.revolve.media\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/cats-cradle.jpg\" alt class=\"img-responsive wp-image-1520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hydrogen.revolve.media\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/cats-cradle-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/hydrogen.revolve.media\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/cats-cradle-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/hydrogen.revolve.media\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/cats-cradle-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/hydrogen.revolve.media\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/cats-cradle-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/hydrogen.revolve.media\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/cats-cradle-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/hydrogen.revolve.media\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/cats-cradle.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/span><div class=\"awb-imageframe-caption-container\"><div class=\"awb-imageframe-caption\"><h2 class=\"awb-imageframe-caption-title\">cats-cradle<\/h2><p class=\"awb-imageframe-caption-text\">Boy playing \u2018cat\u2019s cradle\u2019.

In the first instance, we will see this happen where green hydrogen can be provided at the right price for domestic consumption in Africa. At a later date, this will happen in relation to green hydrogen produced for export as well. Whether green hydrogen can be provided at a competitive price depends on where the green hydrogen is going to be consumed: broadly speaking, whether that price is equal to or less than the price at which fossil fuels are sold in the same place, while considering the cost of transportation.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-8\"><p>Although it may not make economic sense to export large amounts of green hydrogen to Europe in 2022 (even assuming that the necessary infrastructure had been created) there are a number of scenarios where green hydrogen can be produced profitably and delivered in Africa for domestic consumption. For instance, in many parts of Africa green fertiliser locally produced from green hydrogen will be significantly cheaper than imported grey fertilisers made from natural gas. This is principally because of the high cost of natural gas and the high cost of transportation internationally and within Africa.<\/p>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">@media only screen and (max-width:1024px) {.fusion-title.fusion-title-3{margin-top:10px!important; margin-right:0px!important;margin-bottom:15px!important;margin-left:0px!important;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-title.fusion-title-3{margin-top:10px!important; margin-right:0px!important;margin-bottom:10px!important; margin-left:0px!important;}}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-3 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-three\" style=\"margin-top:10px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:15px;margin-left:0px;\"><h3 class=\"title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;\">Making fertiliser more sustainable<\/h3><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-9\"><p>Some of the best agricultural land in the world is in Africa but it is not as productive as it could be. Some of this is political, but it is also because the land is simply under-fertilised. As a continent, Africa is shockingly under-fertilised, in comparison to other parts of the world. For instance, the fertiliser per hectare of cropland in Africa is five times less than the global average. And because the inherent demand for fertiliser is already there, fertiliser plants in those parts of Africa should be capable of being financed and built today.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>As a continent, Africa is shockingly under-fertilised, in comparison to almost all of the rest of the world.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-10\"><p>These fertiliser plants can use green hydrogen as a feedstock \u2013 rather than as an energy vector; and they will be able to produce green hydrogen for hydrogen-powered vehicles and green ammonia for ammonia generators. In 2022, some 600-700 million people in Africa are still not connected to the electricity grid. Ammonia generators could help provide much needed power for lighting and cooking in people\u2019s homes. With time and in the right locations, green ammonia can be used for shipping or maritime purposes. In addition, baseload renewable power plants, using hydrogen to balance the intermittency of renewable energy, will also make financial sense, in some regions.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\" awb-imageframe-style awb-imageframe-style-below awb-imageframe-style-2\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-2 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1602\" title=\"africa-green-hydrogen_big\" src=\"https:\/\/hydrogen.revolve.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/africa-green-hydrogen_big.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"img-responsive wp-image-1538\"><\/span><div class=\"awb-imageframe-caption-container\"><div class=\"awb-imageframe-caption\"><h2 class=\"awb-imageframe-caption-title\">africa-green-hydrogen_big<\/h2><p class=\"awb-imageframe-caption-text\">Geopolitics on hydrogen.

The development of a new market only really starts with the development of a profitable business. This itself attracts new businesses into the sector and provides the funds for them to grow and develop. This thought was behind AHP\u2019s delegation to Somaliland and Tanzania: to see what hydrogen-related businesses could be established in these countries today.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-12\"><p>The delegation consisted of AHP members, which either together or separately have the capability to build green fertiliser plants in Africa and other facilities to meet existing needs in Africa. These include baseload renewable energy and waste-to-energy hydrogen plants, as well as ammonia generators. Preliminary calculations and initial discussions were promising but there is no substitute for actually seeing and going to the countries concerned.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-13\"><p>The wind and solar maps show that Somaliland had formidable onshore wind and solar but experiencing it in person was impressive. Somaliland is a potential future hydrogen superpower, located in an increasingly key location. Yet Somaliland is a country where, due to the cost of fossil fuels, electricity is very expensive. Given this, Somaliland is an ideal country for green hydrogen to be deployed now.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\" awb-imageframe-style awb-imageframe-style-below awb-imageframe-style-2\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-2 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" title=\"victoria\" src=\"https:\/\/hydrogen.revolve.media\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/victoria.jpg\" alt class=\"img-responsive wp-image-1518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hydrogen.revolve.media\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/victoria-200x113.jpg 200w, https:\/\/hydrogen.revolve.media\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/victoria-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/hydrogen.revolve.media\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/victoria-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/hydrogen.revolve.media\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/victoria-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/hydrogen.revolve.media\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/victoria-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/hydrogen.revolve.media\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/victoria.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/span><div class=\"awb-imageframe-caption-container\"><div class=\"awb-imageframe-caption\"><h2 class=\"awb-imageframe-caption-title\">victoria<\/h2><p class=\"awb-imageframe-caption-text\">Victoria, Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania.

In central and western Tanzania there is great potential for producing solar and onshore wind power \u2013 the least expensive renewable energy sources. Additionally, there are large open (arid) spaces in these regions which allow the construction of larger renewable energy facilities while minimising the impact on the environment. Tanzania is planning a major new Port at Bagamoyo, which has significant green hydrogen implications, as does the Port of Berbera in Somaliland.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-16\"><p>The delegation made presentations and held discussions in Somaliland with the private sector, but in Tanzania most of our discussions were with senior officials (including the Minister of Foreign Affairs) and officials in Dar es Salaam, Bagamoyo and Zanzibar. In both countries there was great interest in developing hydrogen and several opportunities were identified and will be followed up by the companies involved, supported as required by the AHP. And when one or more sectors are underway, it will be possible to turn to other sectors which will then become more connected and attractive to investors.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>In 2022, 600-700 million people in Africa are not connected to the electricity grid.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">@media only screen and (max-width:1024px) {.fusion-title.fusion-title-5{margin-top:10px!important; margin-right:0px!important;margin-bottom:15px!important;margin-left:0px!important;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-title.fusion-title-5{margin-top:10px!important; margin-right:0px!important;margin-bottom:10px!important; margin-left:0px!important;}}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-5 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-three\" style=\"margin-top:10px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:15px;margin-left:0px;\"><h3 class=\"title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;\">The East African Green Hydrogen and Fertiliser Corridor<\/h3><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-17\"><p>East Africa has great potential for producing low-cost green hydrogen that will benefit its large population as well as its strong domestic and agricultural sectors.

Additionally, market and default risks will be reduced by working with green hydrogen programmes for a variety of market sectors, such as power supply using green hydrogen, green hydrogen as a feedstock for green fertiliser production or as a fuel for the maritime transport sector. Risk reduction will lead automatically to lower financing costs. Economically and commercially feasible green hydrogen and fertiliser business development opportunities already exist in East Africa now.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-builder-nested-column-0{width:100% !important;margin-top : 15px;margin-bottom : 20px;}.fusion-builder-nested-column-0 > .fusion-column-wrapper {padding-top : 24 !important;padding-right : 0px !important;margin-right : 1.92%;padding-bottom : 10 !important;padding-left : 24 !important;margin-left : 1.92%;}@media only screen and (max-width:1024px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-nested-column-0{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-nested-column-0 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-nested-column-0{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-nested-column-0 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}<\/style><\/div><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-1{width:66.666666666667% !important;margin-top : 0px;margin-bottom : 20px;}.fusion-builder-column-1 > .fusion-column-wrapper {padding-top : 0px !important;padding-right : 0px !important;margin-right : 2.88%;padding-bottom : 0px !important;padding-left : 0px !important;margin-left : 2.88%;}@media only screen and (max-width:1024px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-1{width:66.666666666667% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-1 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 2.88%;margin-left : 2.88%;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-1{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-1 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}<\/style><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-flex-container.fusion-builder-row-1{ padding-top : 0px;margin-top : 0px;padding-right : 0px;padding-bottom : 0px;margin-bottom : 0px;padding-left : 0px;}<\/style><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1540,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1511","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-features"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hydrogen.revolve.media\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1511","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hydrogen.revolve.media\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hydrogen.revolve.media\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hydrogen.revolve.media\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hydrogen.revolve.media\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1511"}],"version-history":[{"count":23,"href":"https:\/\/hydrogen.revolve.media\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1511\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1553,"href":"https:\/\/hydrogen.revolve.media\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1511\/revisions\/1553"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hydrogen.revolve.media\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1540"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hydrogen.revolve.media\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1511"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hydrogen.revolve.media\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1511"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hydrogen.revolve.media\/2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1511"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
