The engagement, held at the Lรผderitz Waterfront Development Company Conference Centre, brought together regional leadership, traditional authorities, local authorities, state-owned enterprises, project developers, development partners, youth and womenโ€™s representatives, labour organisations, training institutions and community stakeholders. The session formed part of Namibiaโ€™s national effort to gather grounded regional inputs ahead of the countryโ€™s CIF Investment Plan submission, aimed at unlocking up to USD 250 million in concessional funding for green industrialisation and industry decarbonisation projects. The workshop focused on regional readiness, infrastructure needs and stakeholder priorities, with particular attention to clean energy, green hydrogen and broader green industrialisation opportunities in the ||Kharas Region. Discussions covered Namibiaโ€™s national vision for clean energy and industrialisation, the overview of 78 shortlisted developers, common-user infrastructure requirements, community participation, labour readiness and local inclusion. Delivering the keynote address, ||Kharas Governor Hon. Dawid Gertze said the region occupies a special place in Namibiaโ€™s emerging green industrial future. He noted that Namibiaโ€™s green industrialisation agenda โ€œis no longer just a policy conversation in Windhoek or a topic discussed at international summits,โ€ but has become a practical regional and local matter linked to livelihoods, jobs, skills, infrastructure and community trust. The Chairperson of the ||Kharas Regional Council, Hon. Gerrit Witbooi, welcomed participants and emphasised the importance of ensuring that regional voices are reflected in the national process. He stated that the engagement was โ€œnot an ordinary consultation,โ€ but part of Namibiaโ€™s preparations to unlock significant concessional financing for the countryโ€™s green industrialisation agenda. Key sessions assessed enabling infrastructure such as port facilities, transmission corridors, desalination and bulk water supply, rail and road corridors, pipelines, storage and shared utilities for industrial zones. Stakeholders also discussed social licence, workforce development, inclusivity, local enterprise opportunities and community expectations. Inputs gathered from Lรผderitz will contribute to the development of a stronger, regionally informed and nationally relevant CIF IDP s-TIP that supports investment, job creation, industrial growth & long-term sustainable development.

Thyssenkrupp Uhde says Namibia remains a key investment focus as the company positions itself to participate in the countryโ€™s emerging green industrialisation and logistics sectors. Thyssenkrupp Uhde Senior Vice President for Sub-Saharan Africa, James Mnyupe, said the company is engaging both government and private sector stakeholders on potential investments and partnerships linked to Namibiaโ€™s industrial development agenda. He said the companyโ€™s global chief executive recently visited Namibia, where meetings were held with Kaire Mbuende and Vice President Lucia Witbooi to discuss potential investment opportunities. โ€œAnd we, of course, expressed our interest and excitement at being able to potentially invest in Namibia,โ€ Mnyupe said. thebrief.com.na/2026/05/thysโ€ฆ #namibia #greenhydrogen #investment #partnership @NamPresidency @MrMnyups @gh2namibia @GAH2Summit

JUST IN: The Namibian government has approved the establishment of a new Green Industries Council, replacing the former Green Hydrogen Council whose term ended in February 2025. The announcement was made today by government spokesperson Emma Theofelus during this weekโ€™s Cabinet briefing, where she outlined resolutions adopted during the 12th and 13th Cabinet meetings held on 28 April and 6 May 2026 under the chairpersonship of President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah. According to Cabinet, the new council will oversee Namibiaโ€™s broader green industrialisation agenda, focusing on policy coordination, institutional alignment and investment priorities aimed at accelerating industrialisation, economic diversification and job creation. Cabinet further stated that the council will be chaired by the director general of the National Planning Commission and will include representatives from key institutions, including the ministries of finance; industries, mines and energy; agriculture, fisheries, water and land reform; environment, forestry and tourism; international relations and trade; urban and rural development; the Office of the Attorney General; and the Bank of Namibia.

Namibia courts Chinese investment in green hydrogen and renewable energy Namibia is intensifying efforts to attract Chinese investment into its emerging green hydrogen and renewable energy sector as it positions its vast solar and wind resources as key drivers of future industrialisation. During an official visit to China, Minister of International Relations and Trade Selma Ashipala-Musavyi said a stable and diversified energy mix is critical to supporting long-term economic growth, with renewable energy projects expected to play a central role. โ€œIn terms of the green economy, we are becoming a major player in green energy and green hydrogen. I also see that Chinese companies are taking an interest and, in fact, we have been encouraging them to come to Namibia to explore opportunities. This is because Namibiaโ€™s topography and climatic conditions are highly suitable for renewable energy development. We have abundant sunshine and strong wind resources, which are key sources of energy,โ€ she said. miningandenergy.com.na/namibโ€ฆ #namibia #energy #investment #greenhydrogen #renewableenergy @REIAoN @EUinNamibia @CoMinesNamibia @MME_Nam @gh2namibia @GAH2Summit @ESIAfrica @ahpafrica @MIRT_NAMIBIA @ChinaEmbNamibia

Very proud of TransNamib and CMB.TECH

TransNamibโ€™s board has approved a six-month trial of a dual-fuel locomotive powered by hydrogen and diesel, as the rail operator tests lower-emission alternatives to its diesel fleet. The pilot, to be conducted in partnership with CMB.TECH, will run for around 50 return trips along the Walvis Bayโ€“Windhoek corridor, a key route for Namibiaโ€™s freight movement. Chief Executive Officer Desmond van Jaarsveld said the trial will determine whether hydrogen technology can operate effectively under local conditions. The locomotive will be assessed on fuel consumption, reliability, operational efficiency, maintenance requirements and overall cost-effectiveness, with a decision on potential expansion to follow after the trial period. thebrief.com.na/2026/04/tranโ€ฆ #namibia #locomotives #dieselfleet #walvisbay #windhoek @transnamib @CMB_TECH @QBBT @rudolphmuller @sigstart

Namibia courts Brazilian investment in oil, gas and green hydrogen sectors Namibia has moved to court Brazilian capital for its fast-growing oil, gas and green hydrogen sectors, as it seeks to convert recent resource discoveries into industrial development and jobs.

NAMIBIA GREEN HYDROGEN PROGRAMME retweeted
Namibiaโ€™s green hydrogen ambitions signal something far greater than a single energy project. They represent Africaโ€™s confidence in shaping the global energy transition, not as a participant, but as a leader. With vast renewable potential, strategic policy direction, and international partnerships, Namibia is positioning itself at the forefront of clean energy innovation. The future of sustainable power will not be limited to traditional hubs. It will include Windhoek. @gh2namibia #Namibia #GreenHydrogen #EnergyTransition

Namibia is set to launch its first green hydrogen-powered heavy-duty freight locomotive later this year, according to CMB.TECH. The project is being spearheaded by CMB.TECH Namibia in partnership with TransNamib Holdings Limited and Africa Global Logistics. The locomotive is currently being assembled at the facilities of Traxtion, a South African rail engineering and refurbishment specialist. โ€œHydrogen-powered rail freight is coming to Namibia later this year. CMB.TECH Namibia, together with TransNamib and Africa Global Logistics, is developing Namibia's first heavy-duty freight locomotive, powered by locally produced green hydrogen,โ€ CMB.TECH said. The locomotive will operate on the Walvis Bayโ€“Windhoek freight corridor during a trial phase, completing 50 return trips between the Port of Walvis Bay and the container depot near Windhoek. The route spans 414 kilometres, rising from 6 metres above sea level at the coast to 1,601 metres in the Namibian highlands. thebrief.com.na/2026/03/namiโ€ฆ #namibia #greenhydrogen #locomotive #railsector @EUinNamibia @GAH2Summit @gh2namibia @ahpafrica @transnamib
