Africa scales port infrastructure as hydrogen economy grows

From the newsletter

Ports across Africa, long overlooked, are gaining recognition as critical infrastructure for the continent’s green hydrogen economy. The EU has signed a service agreement with Holland’s Port of Rotterdam to expand Namibia’s Luderitz Port, designing a multi-user terminal to handle the export of green hydrogen and critical minerals.

• Recent developments indicate growing investment interest and planning around African ports, aiming to ensure they are capable of supporting future hydrogen and related exports as the continent’s clean energy sector develops.
