WALVIS BAY, 18 OCT (NAMPA) - The Cleanergy Solutions project, a partnership between Ohlthaver & List Group and CMB.TECH, has spent about N.dollars 200 million on local suppliers since its inception in 2021.
The funds, according to Ohlthaver & List Cleanergy Development Committee member Eike Krafft, were amongst others used on the clearing of the plant’s site, logistics , internet service providers, security providers and installations that were done at the plant.
The company aims to reduce carbon emissions and contribute to the global efforts to combat climate change, aligning with Namibia’s green energy goals. The N.dollars 500 million pilot project in Walvis Bay includes hydrogen production, a public refuelling station, and a Hydrogen Academy for training local professionals.
The refuelling station, which began operations in 2023, is Africa’s first hydrogen refuelling hub designed to decarbonise port logistics in partnership with Namport. This project includes a 5MW electrolyser and a 5MWh battery.
Krafft told journalists during a media tour on Thursday that 150 locals were involved during the construction phase, and that eight Namibians are directly employed at Cleanergy Solutions.
“This is an industry that doesn’t extract finance resources from anywhere. We are not taking diamonds or minerals from anywhere. We are using the sun and desalinated water so we are not taking anything away from Namibia, but bringing technology and job opportunities to the country and creating some local associated industries,” Krafft said.
