[IRENA] Enabling green hydrogen development: North Africa |
|---|---|
| Category | |
|
The North Africa region (Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco and Tunisia) could produce competitive green hydrogen for decarbonising local industries – either directly, or indirectly through the use of green hydrogen-based commodities such as ammonia, methanol and green steel. This would create economic opportunities and high-quality jobs and improve the trade balance of producer countries, thanks to foreign direct investment and import substitution. Many challenges impede the deployment of a hydrogen economy in North Africa, including difficulties to finance local hydrogen projects, general uncertainties about off-taker markets (both locally and in export markets), the lack of a (sufficiently) large skilled workforce for project development and government support. To enable these opportunities, this report presents enabling measures that are organised into four pillars of the green hydrogen transition, with illustrative examples from North African countries that are already implementing them. The four pillars are: 1) Policies and regulations; 2) Technologies and infrastructure; 3) Markets, business and finance and 4) Supply chains, skills and community engagement. |
