High wind speeds in Namibia mean that the generation of wind power is particularly profitable. We therefore think that one kilogram of hydrogen from Namibia will eventually cost between €1.50 This would be the most competitive price in the world which would be a huge locational advantage for hydrogen ‘made in Namibia’.

In any case, when we switch from fossil fuels to renewable energy, we reduce but do not eliminate environmental damage. Current versions of renewable energy such as solar cells and windmills do far less damage to the environment than oil rigs, fracking, and strip mining, but they do damage the environment.

Photo: China News Service Renewable energy costs in Asia last year were 13% cheaper than coal and are expected to be 32% cheaper by 2030, according to a new study. This is significant because it marks a shift toward making renewables increasingly competitive with coal, a mainstay in APAC’s energy mix.
