Green hydrogen must create jobs and industries in Namibia: UNIDO

Green hydrogen development should create local industries, skilled jobs and value addition in Namibia rather than focus only on exports, United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO) project manager, Sven Schuppener has said.

Speaking at the launch of the GEF-UNIDO Namibia Child Project here on Wednesday, Schuppener said Namibia’s renewable energy resources, particularly its strong solar and wind potential, together with the country’s commitment to sustainable industrialisation, provide an opportunity to develop a green hydrogen sector that benefits the wider economy.
