It aims to take advantage of Mauritania’s solar and wind resources and its proximity to large European markets. Chariot said the project has been given exclusivity over an onshore and offshore area of a total of 14,400 sq km (5,560 sq m) to conduct pre-feasibility and feasibility studies.
“We have the potential, and desire, to be a world leader in the field of hydrogen production from renewable energy sources.” Project Nour is the second major green hydrogen plant planned for Mauritania after renewables developer CWP Global signed a deal earlier this year for a project that could feature 30GW of solar and wind generation.
expected to commence production in 2023. Mauritania is set to become a world-class liquefied natural gas (LNG) hub and intends to increase domestic consumption of gas to achieve its net zero emissions goal. It has strong potential to develop solar, wind and hydraulic energy, and is also a leading producer of critical minerals such as zinc, t
tanium, iron ore, copper and phosphates. To support its national priorities, data and multi-stakeholder dialogue will be key to inform sustainable transition timated to amount to 4.7tr cubic feet1Data reported through the EITI can serve as an entry point to inform debate and policymaking related to Mauritania’s climate targets and the
