The Direction de l’Evaluation et du Contrôle Environnementale (DECE) of the Ministry of Environment in Mauritania has requested the NCEA to review the ToR for the ESIA for the AMAN green hydrogen project.  

Significant details

The project includes components in the coastal areas surrounding  Levrier Bay and the Cap Blanc Peninsula. This includes infrastructure for water desalination, ammonia production, hydrogen manufacturing, and product export. The project also includes the installation of wind turbines and solar panels in an 8,500 km2 desert area in the east of the Nouadhibou Peninsula. These facilities are expected to generate up to 30 GW of renewable electricity.
