500 MW Renewable Energy, Green Hydrogen & Ammonia Project in Senegal

 

Introduction

 

Senegal stands at a strategic turning point in its energy development. With exceptional solar and wind resources, the country has a unique opportunity to become a major player in the global energy transition. In this context, Global Green Hydrogen Inc. is preparing to develop a 500 MW renewable energy hub in three phases, dedicated to the production of green hydrogen and green ammonia.

 

This initiative is more than an energy project: it is a comprehensive platform for economic, industrial, and social transformation, with long-term impacts at the local, regional, and international levels.

1. Vision and Objectives

 

The central goal is to position Senegal as a regional and global hub for green hydrogen and ammonia.

• 500 MW installed capacity deployed in three progressive phases.

• Green hydrogen production through water electrolysis powered by renewable energy.

• Conversion to green ammonia (NH₃), a strategic molecule that is easier to transport and widely used in both agriculture and industry.

• Strategic positioning of Senegal as a clean energy supplier to Europe, the Americas, and beyond.

2. Development Phases

• Phase 1: 100 MW (Pilot and Demonstration)

Construction of the first solar and wind facility, integrated with the national grid. This phase will launch a pilot production of green hydrogen, build local technical expertise, and demonstrate the industrial feasibility of the project.

• Phase 2: Expansion to 200 MW

Significant increase in capacity with large-scale hydrogen output and the start of green ammonia conversion. This stage will address domestic demand (industry, transport) while preparing for initial exports.

• Phase 3: Full Capacity at 500 MW

Senegal becomes a major hub for renewable hydrogen and ammonia in West Africa, with large-scale production aimed at export markets in Europe, the Americas, and Asia.
