This year’s MSGBC Oil, Gas & Power 2025, taking place December 8-10 in Dakar, Senegal, will feature a dedicated session on Green Hydrogen: Advancing Africa’s Advantage and the Rise of Regional Production Alliances.

The panel will explore green hydrogen production in the MSGBC basin, emerging regional partnerships and the potential for large-scale industrialisation and export.

The session will bring together leading figures in the sector, including Taghiya Abeidarrahmane, Director of Low Carbon Hydrogen, Ministry of Petroleum and Energy, Mauritania; Thierry Lepercq, Founder and CEO, Hydeal Ambition; Prof Stefan Liebing, CEO, Conjuncta; and Mike Scholey, CEO, CWP Global.

Mauritania is leading in green hydrogen initiatives, leveraging solar and wind resources. Notable projects include CWP’s 30 GW Aman Project (1.7 million tonnes of hydrogen annually) and GreenGo Energy’s 6 GW project (339,000 tonnes of ammonia).

A feasibility study for a 10 GW project targets 8 million tonnes by 2028.

"The session will showcase how Africa’s green hydrogen projects are moving from vision to reality," notes Sandra Jeque, Events and Project Director, Energy Capital & Power, adding, "By connecting international investors, regional developers and policymakers, MSGBC Oil, Gas & Power 2025 highlights pathways for scaling green hydrogen production and strengthening regional collaboration."
