PtX Country Support
The Green Hydrogen Business Alliance contributes to the rapid development of a sustainable hydrogen and PtX economy in partner countries. It supports partners to create the necessary regulatory and economic framework conditions removing market hurdles for private investments.
The measures including studies, trainings, and workshops, are demand-oriented and enable the partners to take relevant decisions towards a climate-neutral and social transition.
Country Support Namibia
Studies and workshops for a Just Transition in Namibia
In Namibia, the Green Hydrogen Business Alliance conducted studies on green industrialisation and green hydrogen standards and certification. The measures were conducted in partnership with the Namibian Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) and the Ministry of Industrialization and Trade (MIT).
The Business Alliance and its partners jointly explore how renewable energy and mining can be leveraged to accelerate sector development and economic growth in Namibia. The Southern African country aims not only to export green hydrogen and its derivatives to Europe, but also to use this momentum to strengthen the local economy and retain as much value addition as possible within the country.

PtX masterclasses
Since September 2023, the Green Hydrogen Business Alliance has held 20 masterclasses, reaching more than 450 participants and helping to raise awareness and deepen understanding of green hydrogen and Power-to-X.
The masterclasses are tailored to different target groups. In the mining towns of Oranjemund and Rosh Pinah, for instance, sessions drew thirty participants, including representatives from municipalities, mining industry professionals, teachers, and various SME owners.
Country Support Morocco
Private sector dialogue
Since the signing of the Green Hydrogen Partnership between Morocco and Germany in 2020, the Green Hydrogen Business Alliance supported the realisation of a PtX reference plant in Morocco. Through dialogue and roadshow events H2BA contributed to a transparent market environment within the framework of a public-private project, thereby reducing existing investment risks.
PtX studies on production and pipeline costs
With two dedicated studies on PtX-costs in North Africa, H2BA compared the profitability of different hydrogen derivatives to guarantee the most efficient use of public funds supporting the ramp-up of the green hydrogen market.
A main study analysed the production costs of hydrogen, ammonia, methanol, kerosene and marine fuels considering different production scenarios. A study addendum focussed on potential pipeline routes between North Africa and Europe and the related transport costs.
