Mauritania has inked a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with renewables developer CWP Global to build a giant wind-and-solar powered green hydrogen hub at a remote desert location in the north-west African nation.

At 30GW, the Aman project, which would be built on an 8,500km2 site in the north of the country, would be in the running to be the world’s largest ‘Power-to-X’ facility when it comes online.
