Namibia’s Daures Green Hydrogen Village has been named among the first recipients of the UK-funded Accelerate to Demonstrate (A2D) Facility, which will distribute N$1.5 billion (£65 million) in support of green energy projects.

With backing from the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), the funding will facilitate the production of Ammonium Sulphate Fertilizer at Daures, with the project set for completion in 2027.

UNIDO Director General, Gerd Müller, described the initiative as a major milestone in Namibia’s green energy transition, highlighting its potential to produce the country’s first carbon-free green fertilizer to support agricultural growth and industrialisation.

“The A2D Facility is demonstrating what is possible with new sustainable development solutions. These first demonstration projects create scalable solutions where they are needed most,” Müller said.

The production of low-carbon alternatives to traditional ammonia-based fertilizers is expected to enhance climate-friendly agriculture. By reducing greenhouse gas emissions, green ammonia is believed to align with global climate goals and decrease the carbon footprint of agricultural practices.

Daures Green Hydrogen Village CEO, Jerome Namaseb, welcomed the support, stating that the funding from UNIDO would enable the firm to produce Namibia’s first green fertilizer.

“Fertilizer application rates seen in Namibia are low, and this locally produced low-carbon fertilizer can address this by providing a more affordable and accessible alternative to expensive imported synthetic options, enabling farmers to increase nutrient input without prohibitive costs,” Namaseb said.

However, he did not disclose the specific allocation Daures will receive from the overall N$1.5 billion funding.

The A2D Facility aims to advance green energy solutions by demonstrating the feasibility and effectiveness of green hydrogen in various industrial applications.

The initial projects will focus on fertilizer production, storage, and utilisation of green hydrogen, with an emphasis on collaboration among member states, the private sector, and research institutions.

Other recipients of the funding include Kenya, Nepal, Nigeria, and the United Republic of Tanzania.

Lindsay Samantha Skoll, Ambassador and Permanent Representative of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to the United Nations, described the initiative as a significant step in implementing innovative solutions and delivering transformative results in developing countries.
