Laying the Legal Groundwork for a Clean Energy Boom
In a landmark policy move, Mauritania’s Parliament passed the country’s first Green Hydrogen Investment Code in early 2025. The law sets out clean incentives and regulatory frameworks to support large-scale hydrogen projects fueled by the country’s rich solar and wind resources.
Global Interest Already Rising
Mauritania is partnering with global firms including CWP Global and Chariot Energy to develop multi-billion-dollar hydrogen production projects. These ventures are expected to position the country as a future supplier of green ammonia and hydrogen to Europe.
A Blueprint for Energy Transition in West Africa
