Windhoek, Namibia will be welcoming the inaugural Global African Hydrogen Summit (GAH2S) that was launched as part of COP28 UAE in December 2023, from 3 - 5 September
Reflecting the ideals of COP28, GAH2S will play a key role in actualising the climate summit's vision. The platform has gained significant momentum with the support of the Government of Namibia and endorsement from the Ministry of Mines & Energy, Republic of Namibia.
Commenting on the inaugural edition of the event, Tom Alweendo, Minister of Mines & Energy, Namibia, said, “The Global African Hydrogen Summit will be the first platform of its kind to be leveraged by African governments, by investors, financiers, scholars and the public. In order to unlock additional opportunities for our continent and its partners, it will also provide a platform for the global players in the hydrogen value chain to showcase their projects, plans and technologies to the African continent.”
