They also discussed the possibility of establishing a joint venture. The next ministerial meeting will take place in Tashkent (Uzbekistan). The exploration of green electricity exports has been ongoing for some time (see the figure of one of the scenarios for the location of an electric interconnector worked out in 2020). Regional collaboration in hydrogen aligns precisely with my recommendations in a study for the UNECE Sustainable Energy and discussions in Almaty, Astana, Baku, and Brussels. We determined the maximum realistic resource potential for hydrogen production by 2040 in these three countries at 2.4, 2.6, and 2.1 Mtpa, respectively, and more accurate figures will likely emerge after the development of national hydrogen strategies. In 2023, routes for hydrogen exports are already being explored, with the involvement of the EBRD, H2 Diplo, Advisian, and Fichtner (Fichtner Hydrogen). In my view, synchronization of hydrogen strategies, standards, certification, workforce training, research and development, and technological chains are equally, if not more, critical. Hopefully, we will witness progress in these areas as well.

“ #Mauritania currently has the largest pipeline of renewable hydrogen projects to 2030 in sub-Saharan Africa. However, successfully implementing these projects is conditional on attracting sufficient investment, which in turn depends on reducing risk by securing demand from foreign offtakers. Building out Mauritania’s renewable hydrogen sector could significantly accelerate sustainable development and growth in the country if inflows of foreign currency and technological capacity are channelled towards infrastructure, skills transfer and adding value to the national economy, according to the report” A must read paper by the International Energy Agency (IEA) about the renewable energies opportunity for #Mauritania. Big thanks to Rita Madeira from IEA & Khroumbaly Mohamed Lehbib from Ministry of Petroleum, Mines and Energy - Mauritania 🇲🇷 for the great work. https://lnkd.in/emUzQyFC #Hydrogen #LNG #oilandgas #Africa

The impact of discovering natural hydrogen in Bourakébougou, Mali, is starting to gain traction in a world that needs clean, cheap but more importantly renewable hydrogen to power the energy transition. But this is a story of how successive exploration and production efforts by Oil & Gas company Petroma, soon after renamed Hydroma Inc, brought electricity to the village for the first time. Since then, there has been a wave of enthusiasm, research and exploration campaigns. In many countries, like Australia, Spain and the US, momentum is strong for this prospect that points to a renewable, flowing and continuous source of energy. #naturalhydrogen #hydrogen #renewablehydrogen #hydrogennow #whitehydrogen #hydrogeneconomy #energytransition

The discovery of this source of natural hydrogen has been game-changing in the hunt for clean, renewable, and low-cost hydrogen to power the planet. Our role is to look at the science that will allow us to source this form of hydrogen with minimal impact. #naturalhydrogen #hydrogen #renewablehydrogen #hydrogennow #whitehydrogen #hydrogeneconomy #energytransition

BDV energy team (led by partners Laurenz Vuchetich and Tomislav Sadric, alongside senior associate Anamarija Javor) advised and represented IGeoPen d.o.o. in energy regulatory matters and in the process of successfully winning 5-year permits for the exploration of geothermal water areas "Pčelić" and "Sječe" based on a tender conducted by the Croatian Hydrocarbon Agency and the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development. The remaining permits were awarded to the largest Croatian oil company INA Grupa - Industrija nafte d.d. and Viola.
