Hydrogen has long been positioned as a cornerstone of the global clean energy transition. Governments are funding electrolysers, corporations are piloting fuel-cell applications, and investors are backing large-scale production projects. Yet beneath this momentum lies a critical weakness-hydrogen distribution is falling dangerously behind.
New research from Heriot-Watt University’s Edinburgh Business School highlights a structural imbalance that could derail hydrogen’s commercial future. While production, storage, and fuel-cell technologies are advancing rapidly, distribution infrastructure is evolving at roughly half the pace, creating…
Namibia has established a strategic precedent for Africa’s energy transition with the launch of a 5 MW green hydrogen plant at Walvis Bay port in December 2025. Developed by Plug Power in partnership with Cleanergy Solutions Namibia, this facility is among the first fully integrated, renewable-powered green hydrogen ports on the continent.
Integrated Green Hydrogen for Operational Excellence
The Walvis Bay plant produces hydrogen on-site using electricity from adjacent solar and wind farms, powering yard trucks, cargo cranes, and service…
