Namibia’s first green hydrogen village will supply region with zero carbon fertiliser

Located in the Dâures Constituency of the Erongo region of Namibia, in southern Africa, lies the continent’s first net zero village. Established in 2023, the Daures Green Hydrogen Village set out to make the most of the natural resources available in the country to make green hydrogen and ammonia with the aim of producing the first zero carbon fertiliser in Namibia.

‘Namibia is a nation which is arid to semi-arid,’ explains Jerome Namaseb, chief executive officer of the Daures Green Hydrogen Village. ‘It’s very vulnerable to the effects of climate change; we’ve experienced about two droughts over the last five years. So, it’s natural for us to want to try and see how the advent of green technology may result in the opportunity for industrialisation … whilst also derisking or adding value from an agricultural context.’

The village is supported by a collaboration between the Namibian and German governments, both of whom have committed to a clean, green future in the country by taking advantage of its natural renewable energy resources – namely solar and wind power.

Currently, around 80% of all ammonia produced [globally] is used to produce fertiliser, but Namibia, and Sub-Saharan Africa as a whole, has seen significant increases in the cost of fertiliser. As a result, fertiliser use in the region is low, which has an impact on food security.‘Recent studies speak about the rate of application per square metre in Sub-Saharan Africa being 15% of the recommended amount by the [Food and Agriculture Organization],’ says Namaseb.

...certainly present an explosion risk if poorly designed. High pressure and high heat are required.

Plants that require heat and run on intermittent energy are very inefficient.
