The Government of the Republic of Namibia, through the Namibia Green Hydrogen Programme (NGH2P) under the leadership of the @NPC_Namibia, hosted a regional stakeholder engagement in Lüderitz on Monday, 08 June 2026, as part of Namibia’s preparation of the @CIF_Action Industry Decarbonisation Programme Sectoral Transformation Investment Plan (CIF IDP s-TIP).

The engagement, held at the Lüderitz Waterfront Development Company Conference Centre, brought together regional leadership, traditional authorities, local authorities, state-owned enterprises, project developers, development partners, youth and women’s representatives, labour organisations, training institutions and community stakeholders. The session formed part of Namibia’s national effort to gather grounded regional inputs ahead of the country’s CIF Investment Plan submission, aimed at unlocking up to USD 250 million in concessional funding for green industrialisation and industry decarbonisation projects.

The workshop focused on regional readiness, infrastructure needs and stakeholder priorities, with particular attention to clean energy, green hydrogen and broader green industrialisation opportunities in the ||Kharas Region. Discussions covered Namibia’s national vision for clean energy and industrialisation, the overview of 78 shortlisted developers, common-user infrastructure requirements, community participation, labour readiness and local inclusion.

Delivering the keynote address, ||Kharas Governor Hon. Dawid Gertze said the region occupies a special place in Namibia’s emerging green industrial future. He noted that Namibia’s green industrialisation agenda “is no longer just a policy conversation in Windhoek or a topic discussed at international summits,” but has become a practical regional and local matter linked to livelihoods, jobs, skills, infrastructure and community trust.

The Chairperson of the ||Kharas Regional Council, Hon. Gerrit Witbooi, welcomed participants and emphasised the importance of ensuring that regional voices are reflected in the national process. He stated that the engagement was “not an ordinary consultation,” but part of Namibia’s preparations to unlock significant concessional financing for the country’s green industrialisation agenda.

Key sessions assessed enabling infrastructure such as port facilities, transmission corridors, desalination and bulk water supply, rail and road corridors, pipelines, storage and shared utilities for industrial zones. Stakeholders also discussed social licence, workforce development, inclusivity, local enterprise opportunities and community expectations.

Inputs gathered from Lüderitz will contribute to the development of a stronger, regionally informed and nationally relevant CIF IDP s-TIP that supports investment, job creation, industrial growth & long-term sustainable development.

Namibia courts Chinese investment in green hydrogen and renewable energy

Namibia is intensifying efforts to attract Chinese investment into its emerging green hydrogen and renewable energy sector as it positions its vast solar and wind resources as key drivers of future industrialisation.

During an official visit to China, Minister of International Relations and Trade Selma Ashipala-Musavyi said a stable and diversified energy mix is critical to supporting long-term economic growth, with renewable energy projects expected to play a central role.

“In terms of the green economy, we are becoming a major player in green energy and green hydrogen. I also see that Chinese companies are taking an interest and, in fact, we have been encouraging them to come to Namibia to explore opportunities. This is because Namibia’s topography and climatic conditions are highly suitable for renewable energy development. We have abundant sunshine and strong wind resources, which are key sources of energy,” she said.

NGH2P launch  First 𝗖𝗜𝗙 𝗜𝗗𝗣 𝘀-𝗧𝗜𝗣 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁

This past week, the Namibia Green Hydrogen Programme (NGH2P), under the leadership of the National Planning Commission, convened the first regional CIF IDP s-TIP Stakeholder Engagement in Walvis Bay, Erongo Region, bringing together State-Owned Enterprises, regional and local authorities, traditional and conservancy leaders, community representatives, developers, labour, academia, and development partners. The engagement forms part of Namibia’s preparation of its 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻 (𝘀-𝗧𝗜𝗣) 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘀 (𝗖𝗜𝗙) 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗲, 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘂𝗻𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝘂𝗽 𝘁𝗼 𝗨𝗦𝗗 250 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲.

The s-TIP is a national planning instrument meant to identify the projects, infrastructure priorities, policy actions and institutional requirements that will help Namibia move from ambition to implementation in green industrialisation. The consultation focused on regional readiness, infrastructure needs, stakeholder priorities, common-user infrastructure, local participation, and leadership alignment, all of which are essential to ensuring that Namibia’s final submission is grounded in regional realities and implementation needs.

Opening the engagement, His Worship Cllr Johannes Shimbilinga, Mayor of Walvis Bay, highlighted the strategic role of the town in Namibia’s industrial future. He noted that:
“Walvis Bay is uniquely positioned at the centre of Namibia’s industrial, logistics, and maritime economy.“

The importance of the Erongo Region was also stressed by Joseph Mukendwa, Interim Head of Programme at NGH2P, who stated that this consultation is only the beginning of a broader national process. Mukendwa explained that the choice of Walvis Bay was deliberate, given the region’s strategic relevance to Namibia’s green industrialisation ambitions and the presence of approximately six active projects in the broader green industrial space.

The task now is to work with transaction advisers and stakeholders to refine these concepts into a  pipeline of bankable projects that can form part of the s-TIP and ultimately deliver tangible impact, unlock economic opportunities for Namibians.

As NGH2P continues to facilitate these engagements across the country, the objective remains clear: to build a nationally aligned, investable, and locally informed pipeline that can help Namibia leverage concessional climate finance to advance 𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗷𝗼𝗯 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

TransNamib’s board has approved a six-month trial of a dual-fuel locomotive powered by hydrogen and diesel, as the rail operator tests lower-emission alternatives to its diesel fleet.

The pilot, to be conducted in partnership with https://t.co/SgSav9vJMe, will run for around 50 return trips along the Walvis Bay–Windhoek corridor, a key route for Namibia’s freight movement.

Chief Executive Officer Desmond van Jaarsveld said the trial will determine whether hydrogen technology can operate effectively under local conditions.

The locomotive will be assessed on fuel consumption, reliability, operational efficiency, maintenance requirements and overall cost-effectiveness, with a decision on potential expansion to follow after the trial period.

Namibia courts Brazilian investment in oil, gas and green hydrogen sectors

Namibia has moved to court Brazilian capital for its fast-growing oil, gas and green hydrogen sectors, as it seeks to convert recent resource discoveries into industrial development and jobs.

Minister of International Relations and Trade Selma Ashipala-Musavyi issued a direct investment call during talks with Brazil’s Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira, positioning Namibia as an underexploited resource market with immediate opportunities across the energy value chain.

“As you know, Honourable Minister, Namibia has made significant discoveries in oil and gas, and renewable energy in the form of green hydrogen, in this regard, we extend a strong invitation to the Brazilian private sector to explore the opportunities available within Namibia’s growing manufacturing industry. Namibia offers a stable business environment, strategic access to regional and international markets, and an abundance of natural resources that remain underutilised in terms of value addition,” she said
