Green hydrogen developer CWP Global is fast-tracking the finalization of its host government agreement with Mauritania over the company’s landmark AMAN green hydrogen project, with CEO Mike Scholey confirming that negotiations are at an advanced stage.
The 40 billion dollar AMAN project aims to deploy 30 gigawatts of renewables and produce up to 1.7 million tons of green hydrogen annually. A macroeconomic assessment projects the development could boost national GDP by 40-50% by 2030, representing one of the most ambitious green hydrogen projects planned globally.
Taghya Abeidarrahmane, Director of Low Carbon Hydrogen for the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy of Mauritania, underscored the country’s integrated energy vision, describing green hydrogen development as a key ambition for the government. The project is seen as having potential to drive socioeconomic development and electricity access across the West African region.
