GreenGo Energy, a Danish clean energy developer has filed an application to the Ministry of Petroleum, Energy and Mines in Mauritania for the development of Megaton Moon green energy park. Furthermore, Megaton Moon is planned for a staged implementation process closing the circular architecture to reach 60 GW/ 190 TWh of hybrid solar and wind generation and 35 GW electrolysis producing 4 million tons of green hydrogen yearly or further processed 18 million tons of green ammonia.
The staged implementation targets COD of the first pilot stage by 2028 and last stage by 2033-2035. Project development is in progress fully leveraging the development platform at GreenGo Energy in Denmark. Reportedly, project engineering and development partners are COWI on PtX and infrastructure design and New Power Partners for renewable energy engineering design.
In March 2023, Infinity Power Holding and Conjuncta GmbH signed an agreement with the government of Mauritania to build a green hydrogen plant northeast of the capital Nouakchott with a capacity of up to 10 GW. The two companies signed a MoU with Mauritania’s Ministry of Petroleum, Mines and Energy for the project.
REGlobal’s Views: Mauritania has ample wind and solar power resource, available land, attractive policy framework and is in close proximity to major shipping routes. Thus, the country is an ideal destination for development of large renewable energy and green hydrogen facilities.
