Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>THE Minister of Mines and Energy, Tom Alweendo, has urged African countries to collaborate to maximise the potential of green hydrogen and the continent\u2019s natural resource endowment to ensure long-lasting prosperity and boost intra-African trade.<\/p>\n

The minister made these remarks at the 2024 World Hydrogen Summit, taking place in Rotterdam, the Kingdom of the Netherlands.<\/p>\n

Alweendo highlighted the scarcity of minerals necessary for cleaner industries, emphasising that critical minerals such as rare earth elements, lithium, copper, and cobalt are found in only a few countries, many of which are in Africa.<\/p>\n

He pointed out that more than 95% of the capacity to process these elements into key components like magnets and battery precursors is concentrated in just two countries, creating a fragile supply chain that requires careful and targeted economic diplomacy.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs Africans, we should realise that when coupled with green hydrogen, this natural resource endowment presents a generational opportunity for us to deliver long-lasting prosperity for our people and boost intra-African trade. Green industrialisation is indeed the opportunity that binds domestic, regional, and global agendas,\u201d Alweendo said.<\/p>\n

He emphasised that green industrialisation offers a clear pathway towards thriving manufacturing and service sectors, higher-skill industries, regional integration, and a knowledge-based economy.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is critical that we work in concert with our regional neighbours to deliver a new global gateway that creates modern trade and low-carbon industrial opportunities, placing the region at the centre of a rapidly greening world,\u201d Alweendo said.<\/p>\n

He highlighted green hydrogen in particular as a key cornerstone in the development agendas of many African nations, adding that the African Green Hydrogen Alliance now has ten members.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are honoured to be in this position to learn from fellow African peers. As a continent, we no longer have to be timid about leading a discourse that is complex and nuanced. On the contrary, we have an important role to play in telling our unique narrative on this versatile molecule,\u201d Alweendo added.<\/p>\n
