Dossier 13TH EDITION OF THE ARBOIS AND MEDITERRANEAN ROUND TABLES

Relatively unknown a few years ago, green hydrogen is becoming increasingly popular in Africa. The continent is particularly targeted by energy solution providers for the development of this new energy. The projects currently underway are mostly experimental, i.e. testing the technology to assess the potential for large-scale production of this energy. Green hydrogen is increasingly attracting interest from global giants who are positioning themselves on the most dynamic markets on the African continent, notably in Egypt, South Africa and Morocco, but also in Mauritania and Namibia for their potential in terms of renewable energy. The future of this sector was at the heart of the 13th edition of the Arbois and Mediterranean Round Tables which took place on 3 and 4 May 2023 in Aix-en-Provence, France, on the theme: "Hydrogen tomorrow: myths and realities". During this event, organised in partnership with AFRIK 21, experts discussed the applications of green hydrogen, from agriculture to mobility and the decarbonisation of heavy industries.
