Germany and Namibia form partnership for green hydrogen

Green Car Congress

Solar power harbors an even greater potential thanks to over 3,500 hours of sunshine per year. We therefore think that one kilogram of hydrogen from Namibia will eventually cost between €1.50 This estimate underlines that we need large amounts of hydrogen and we need it quickly and at low cost. Namibia can provide both.

BP outlook: Energy demand grows as fuel mix continues to diversify; EVs in global car parc at 15% by 2040, but electric share of VMT at 30%

Green Car Congress

Renewables are by far the fastest-growing fuel source, increasing five-fold and providing around 14% of primary energy. Renewable energy grows more than 400% and accounts for more than 50% of the increase in global power generation. This strong growth is enabled by the increasing competitiveness of wind and solar.
