The SESA is part of Namibia’s broader Green Hydrogen Strategy, which envisions the development of three hydrogen valleys. The southern region, anchored around Lüderitz, is projected to produce 5 million tonnes of green hydrogen equivalent per year by 2050. The central region (Khomas, Otjozondjupa, and Erongo) is targeting 3 million tonnes, while the northern region (Kunene) could also reach 5 million tonnes, though it currently lacks port access.
Production targets across all three regions are set at 1–2 million tonnes by 2030, rising to 5–7 million tonnes by 2040, and reaching 10–15 million tonnes by 2050. Achieving these figures will require an estimated 750 TWh of renewable electricity annually.
