Namibia–South Africa cross-border hydrogen pipeline, Namibia
Name of the Project
Namibia–South Africa cross-border hydrogen pipeline.
Location
The Western Cape and Northern Cape, in South Africa, and southern Namibia.
Project Owner/s
Namibia Green Hydrogen Programme, or NGH2P.
Project Description
The project forms part of the Namibia Green Hydrogen Programme. A prefeasibility study was completed in December 2024.
The study confirms that linking hydrogen hubs in Lüderitz, Boegoebaai and Saldanha Bay, extending to Gauteng through an eastern corridor, presents a significant opportunity for a resilient hydrogen infrastructure in Southern Africa. This system is pivotal for sustainable energy, socioeconomic growth and advancing Namibia and South Africa’s net-zero goals while positioning both countries as key players in the global hydrogen market.
Potential Job Creation
Not confirmed.
Capital Expenditure
A conceptual masterplan for the pipeline, budgeted at N$30-million, will be largely funded by Climate Funders and Gasunie, with additional support from the EU.
Planned Start/End Date
A conceptual master plan for the pipeline infrastructure is scheduled between mid-2025 and mid-2026.
Latest Developments
The governments of the Western Cape, and the Erongo region, in Namibia, are finalising a twinning agreement with an implementation plan that prioritises green hydrogen collaboration.
Key Contracts, Suppliers and Consultants
None disclosed.
