Green hydrogen and associated infrastructure development may affect water resources in the //Kharas Region through water abstraction, altering natural drainage and groundwater recharge, and producing salty wastewater (brine) from desalination that could affect the environment.
This is one of the key findings of the recently released Strategic Environmental and Social Assessment (SESA) for Green Energy Production and Industrialisation in the Southern Corridor Development Initiative (SCDI). The assessment provides a strategic, national-level overview of the environmental risks, constraints and opportunities associated with Namibia’s emerging green hydrogen sector, with a particular focus on biodiversity and water availability.
