📋 Tender Overview
Scope :
The project targets the production of 1 million tonnes a year (t/y) of green ammonia by the end of 2027, and 2 million t/y by the end of 2029. The development will include about 7GW of renewable generation capacity and 3GW of electrolyser capacity over two phases, while the total hydrogen production capacity will be 350,000 t/y. The green ammonia will be sold regionally and internationally.
Under the terms of the FIA, Hyphen is responsible for the technical, financial, environmental, social and commercial delivery of the project. The Namibian government is responsible for providing the land for the project and developing and implementing the legal, fiscal and regulatory environment necessary for the establishment of a green hydrogen industry in Namibia.
The land selected for the project is in Tsau Khaeb National Park, in the area known as the Southern Corridor Development Initiative.
It is estimated that the project will create around 15,000 new jobs during the construction phase and 3,000 permanent positions during the operational phase. The aim is for 90% of these jobs to be filled by Namibians, with 20% aged between 18 and 35. This initial project is expected to generate significant income for Namibia through the payment of land rentals and environmental levies, royalties of 5% on all project revenues, and taxes.
