Mauritania’s Commitment to a Green Economy and Hydrogen Production

Mauritania’s President, Mohamed Ould Cheikh Ghazouani, has reaffirmed ⁣the ‍country’s dedication to playing a leading role in the global green ⁣economy, ⁤particularly in ⁣the field of hydrogen production.

During a working lunch​ organized by the Paris Charter Alliance for People ⁢and Planet Earth, held on the sidelines of the 79th regular session of the United Nations General ⁢Assembly‌ in New York, President Ould‌ Ghazouani stated that Mauritania is ‌prepared to utilize its⁤ vast potential in ​renewable energy⁣ to serve the continent and the global economy.

Mauritania’s unique geography, with a 750-kilometer ‌coastline⁣ featuring consistent winds of over 9 ⁣meters per second, presents an ideal opportunity for the development of massive wind farms. The country’s lands also benefit⁢ from⁣ an exceptional‍ amount of sunshine,‌ making Mauritania, and consequently Africa,‍ a significant player in the transition to a low-carbon economy and​ green ⁤hydrogen production.

President‌ Ould Ghazouani emphasized⁢ the need for ⁢Africa,⁤ as the continent most vulnerable to the effects of climate change, to play a full part in negotiations and secure guarantees of‌ sustainable and predictable financial support.
