Green Hydrogen Vision

Angola aims to increase its renewable energy capacity to 70% by 2025 with the development of several renewable energy projects through PPPs in solar energy is currently underway, with the implementation of 30,000 off-grid systems with a total capacity of 600MW. The US government has also committed $2 billion in solar energy projects. Of the 47 river basins, Angola uses only 5% and has the potential to increase its hydroelectric production to 18 GW. Plans are underway to deploy large-scale hydroelectric projects along the Kwanza, Cunene, Catumbela and Keve rivers. Angola has another 3 GW of wind capacity that can be exploited in the future.  

Capacity

Angola aims to export around 280,000 tons of green ammonia to Germany by 2024 through Germany's Hydrogen global green hydrogen program.  

Project Spotlight

Angolan oil company Sonangol has signed a joint declaration of intent with German company Gauff GmbH and Conjuctta GmbH to develop a green hydrogen project at the Barra do Dande ocean terminal. This project will use 400 MW of electricity generated from a 2 GW hydroelectric plant.
