RESEARCH: H2-Study

The Alliance is in partnership with ANSOLE e.V, German Aerospace Centre(DLI), Reiner Lemoine Institut (RLI) to conduct a Workshop for the Technology Assessment at the German Bundestag(TAB) project on H2 Partnerships in developing countries.

The Technical Assistant project titled “Opportunities and risks of hydrogen partnerships and technologies in developing countries” aims to identify and discuss the realization conditions, opportunities and risks of a hydrogen infrastructure along the entire utilization chain in potential partner countries. In this project, the realization conditions for industrial projects for the production of green hydrogen in Nigeria as well as the associated economic, ecological and social opportunities and risks are to be analysed and evaluated in greater depth.

The H2 Workshop in Nigeria scheduled to hold in January 2023, will have relevant actors and stakeholders which includes relevant persons from development cooperation, science, business, public institutions and civil society for a professional exchange, to share relevant knowledge and experience and primarily bring the perspective of the developing countries, in this case Nigeria into the discussion.
