In Denmark, GreenGo Energy secured first African agreement in Mauritania to develop large-scale green hydrogen project. The firm noted that the agreement grants GreenGo Energy access to more than 100,000 hectares of land near Nouakchott, Mauritania, to develop the Megaton Moon Green Hydrogen Project. Karsten Nielsen, CEO of GreenGo Energy, said: “Mauritania’s unique combination of abundant renewable resources, strategic location, and forward-thinking policies – including the enactment of Africa’s first Green Hydrogen Code – positions it as a leader in the global energy transition. With highly competitive production costs, the country offers a compelling environment for investment. We are honored to play a role in this journey.” With the agreement now in place, GreenGo Energy enters the development phase of the project. During this period, the company said it will conduct detailed site and geotechnical surveys, meteorological data collection, and undertake feasibility studies. The firm explained that at its full capacity, the project will include 6 GW of electrolysis, 6.8 GW of onshore wind, and 6.3 GWp of solar PV. Phase 1, set for completion by the end of 2029, will deploy 500 MW of electrolysis, 600 MW of onshore wind, and 600 MWp of solar PV, producing approximately 339,000 tons of green ammonia annually.
