Africa has a unique potential to exploit low cost renewable energy to produce green hydrogen for domestic and external markets. Green Hydrogen could become indeed the booster of a sustainable development of the continent, enabling African countries to reduce their environmental impact as well as to make them less dependent to fossil fuels which can create geopolitical issues too. African green hydrogen development could be helpful for European hydrogen transition, that’s why it’s important that both EU and AU hydrogen policies and development roadmaps are conceived in a cross-fertilizing way.
JUST GREEN AFRH2ICA project promotes collaboration within the two continents also encouraging training and joint capacity building activities. This E-Learning programme is one of the first examples of didactic opportunities fully dedicated to hydrogen and to African potential.
In this second package (that follows up the first package already present in EduOpen -https://learn.eduopen.org/eduopenv2/course_details.php?courseid=578 - that introduced trainees to fuel cell and hydrogen technologies and African continent opportunities) the trainee will be guided through JUST GREEN AFRH2ICA project results, showcasing how a sustainable and just transition to green hydrogen can be promoted in Africa and how Africa and Europe can cooperate for the global promotion of green hydrogen as key energy vector for decarbonization
