By leveraging Angola''s abundant zero-emissions energy resources, we plan to supply vital green hydrogen and ammonia to the world, helping to meet critical gateways for industrial decarbonization strategies and targets in Europe and elsewhere.
RENEWABLES-BASED EXPORTS: Riding on its increase in power generation capacity, Angola also plans on becoming an exporter of hydrogen to Europe. The nation''s state-owned energy company Sonangol is teaming up with German engineering company Gauff and investment entity Conjucta to produce green hydrogen at the country''s newly installed Laúca
The Angolan official appealed to the state-owned oil company Sonangol and its partners to comply with their promise in a way that the first export of green hydrogen to Germany can take place in 2024. About the cooperation between Angola and Germany, Diamantino Azevedo underlined that "the Angolan Government did not come looking for help.
Angolan state-owned oil company, Sonangol, has announced plans to produce green hydrogen as part of Angola’s energy transition strategy.
“The initiative is part of the company’s energy transition strategy, in the search for renewable energy resources developed in participation with the German companies Conjuncta GmbH and Grauff GmbH & Co. Engineering KG, which signed an agreement to implement a factory to produce green hydrogen in Angola,” Sonangol said in a statement.
Sociedade Nacional de Combustíveis de Angola, Empresa Pública, Sonangol, E.P., founded in 1976, is the Angola’s national oil company, responsible for exploring, producing, refining, transportation, storage and marketing of hydrocarbons.
The oil and gas companies in Angola are involved in all stages of the petroleum industry worldwide, but of course mostly in the West of Africa. They search for and produce petroleum, they transport, refine and market petroleum and petroleum products. They are therefore called integrated companies.
By leveraging Angola’s abundant zero-emissions energy resources, we plan to supply vital green hydrogen and ammonia to the world, helping to meet critical gateways for industrial decarbonization strategies and targets in Europe and elsewhere.
With the global push to scale-up green hydrogen production to meet targets required for achieving net zero emissions by 2050, this project has the potential to not only accelerate the clean energy transition, but also to establish Angola as a new hub for sustainable industrialization in Africa.
