Govt pushes green hydrogen agenda despite legal gap

The government says it is ready to implement green hydrogen projects despite the absence of dedicated legislation governing the emerging sector. National Planning Commission director general Kaire Mbuende made the remarks at the World Hydrogen Summit and Exhibition in Rotterdam, Netherlands, last Thursday, where he said Namibia is shifting its focus from planning to implementation. “We are here to reaffirm that Namibia is ready to partner with you all.

We are ready to look at Namibia not only as a production location for green hydrogen but also as a future platform for the low-carbon industry in southern Africa. We are ready to move from dialogue to implementation,” Mbuende said.
