Independent international engineering and consulting firm ILF Consulting Engineers (ILF) has entered into a partnership agreement with Hyphen Hydrogen Energy, which is preparing to build a $10-billion green hydrogen project in southern Namibia.

The project is being developed in the Tsau // Khaeb National Park, near Lüderitz, and could produce 350 000 t/y of green hydrogen once at full scale.

ILF has developed its green-hydrogen credentials on projects in Canada, Finland and Austria, and will provide Hyphen with project management services, technical expertise, as well as procurement and contract advice.

It will also provide implementation expertise on the project’s socioeconomic development goals, including the creation of 15 000 construction jobs, 3 000 permanent jobs and 30% local procurement.

Hyphen CEO Marco Raffinetti says ILF’s hydrogen experience will support it in meeting project timelines and Namibia’s development objectives.

Hyphen is a joint venture between Nicholas Holdings Limited and ENERTRAG, but the Namibian government confirmed in June that it would take up a 24% equity stake in the project.

Hyphen is targeting yearly production of one-million tonnes of green ammonia by 2027, with plans to increase yearly production to two-million tonnes by 2029, mostly for export.

Director of Hydrogen at ILF, Dr Michel Kneller, described the Namibian development as a “lighthouse project” that was poised to contribute to the energy transition under way globally.
