SEA for Green Hydrogen
Mauritania is exploring possible assistance of the NCEA for an upcoming SEA for the Green Hydrogen sector.
Green hydrogen solely makes use of clean energy sources and is therefore carbon neutral. Production of green hydrogen is primarily through wind and solar energy. Areas suitable for green hydrogen production are mainly located in dry areas. It requires large amounts of scarce freshwater, and therefore desalination of saline water is common practice. Desalination results in brine that might cause environmental pollution. SEA and ESIA can help decisionmakers to take these and other consequences into account.
The Ministry of Environment in Mauritania has requested the NCEA to review the ToR for the ESIA for the AMAN green hydrogen...
