Cuanza-Norte Province has emerged as a promising candidate to spearhead a pilot project for green energy production, following a recent business visit by Nigerian investors to Cambambe.
The mission expressed keen interest in leveraging the province’s abundant resources for the production of green hydrogen, particularly emphasizing the viability of utilizing ammonia, a key component for fertilizer production, alongside established technologies in Nigeria’s industrial sector.
Fifi Ejindu, President of the Angola-Nigeria Business Council, underscored the export potential of green hydrogen and highlighted the manifold benefits such an endeavor could bring to the local economy.
The Nigerian proposal entails establishing an industrial complex aimed at harnessing Cuanza-Norte’s renewable energy resources.
During their visit, the delegation toured the Cambambe Hydroelectric Dam and engaged with provincial authorities to gain insights into Cuanza-Norte’s economic and social landscape.
Governor João Gaspar emphasized the significance of the proposed project for the province’s economic development and job creation, pledging unwavering institutional support for its realization.
With its favorable natural resources and collaborative partnerships, Cuanza-Norte is poised to play a pivotal role in advancing Angola’s green energy agenda and fostering sustainable economic growth.
