12 GW solar-to-hydrogen facility to be built in Mozambique

Jearrard Energy Resources and its subsidiaries have announced their plans to construct a 12-gigawatt peak solar-to-hydrogen facility in Mozambique.

Once operational, the facility is expected to produce 4,000 tonnes of hydrogen, helping to meet increasing demand for green energy.

The company’s operational director, Johann Kamp, revealed that similar projects are also in the works for the South African market. Importantly, the South Africa’s facility is planned to start in the third quarter of 2024.

Kamp explained that these projects would involve setting up solar plants equipped with electrolysers to produce hydrogen.

Importantly, this would not only foster manufacturing of hydrogen in South Africa but also grow the country’s economy. Additionally, growth will be achieved through taxes generated from its production.

 Hydrogen produced will be piped to Morrumbene new port for export

Jearrard Energy Resources plan to actualize the project in the first quarter of next year. Importantly, construction of 12-gigawatt peak solar-to-hydrogen facility in Mozambique marks a significant step in advancing the use of green energy.

Additionally, by harnessing the power of solar energy, a substantial amount of hydrogen will be produced. Therefore, the hydrogen will provide an eco-friendly alternative to traditional energy sources.

This project aligns with the growing global focus on transitioning to sustainable energy solutions. With rise in demand for green energy, initiatives like this will play crucial role in meeting the world’s energy needs. Additionally, such initiatives will mitigate the impact on the environment.

With Mozambique and South Africa targeting to expand, Jearrard Energy Resources and its subsidiaries are demonstrating their commitment in renewable energy technologies.

By investing in solar-to-hydrogen facilities, these projects will contribute to a greener and more sustainable future for the region.

The hydrogen produced will be piped to Morrumbene new port for export. This will in turn earn the country foreign exchange and boost the country’s economy. Additionally, the solar to hydrogen project will create many direct and indirect jobs.
