Guinea-Bissau Connects to West African Power Grid to End
A high-voltage power line now links Kaleta''s power station to Bissau, delivering electricity to the new Antula substation in the capital region. From there, distribution
In suggesting the green hydrogen policy and strategy framework for the ECOWAS region, adequate attention has been given to this aspect as mere technical feasibility of a technology does not necessarily mean that they need to be deployed. 7 LBST. (2020).
At least 3 green hydrogen clusters shall be set up in feasible locations, where multi-sectoral demand for green hydrogen can be explored on a pilot basis, without building expensive new infrastructure by 2025. ECOWAS should build at least 5 scalable green hydrogen production projects by 2026 in these clusters.
Studies by WASCAL show that sustainable ground water is only able to support the production of 20% of the maximum technical potential of green hydrogen in ECOWAS. This clearly indicates that other fresh water sources must be explored if the full potential of green hydrogen production is to be explored.
The implementation strategy shall specifically address this through risk limiting measures as mentioned in the subsequent strategy framework. To minimize the risks associated with the development of new technology like green hydrogen, a phased approach must be adopted for the ECOWAS region, to minimize the early mover risks.
