Funding tracker: Mauritania dominates hydrogen investments

From the newsletter

Mauritania stands out in green hydrogen investments in September 2025, securing the highest share of new funding commitments across Africa. Data from the Hydrogen Rising funding tracker shows the northwest African nation captured 96% of total funding, with a $1.5 billion investment forming the single largest commitment out of the $1.562 billion invested continent-wide.

• The Mauritanian funding is an investment deal with Polish ammonia producer Hynfra for the construction of a green ammonia plant with a planned output of 100,000 tonnes per year. 

• The country also signed a deal for an undisclosed amount with Chinese developer United Energy Group (UEG) to produce one million tonnes of green ammonia annually for export. Production will take place at two sites in northern and central Mauritania.
