Namibia Green Hydrogen Programme’s Post

Transcript

Welcome to high Irons or Shivala project. Mein Name ist Johannes Michels. I'm one of the Founders. With the high iron project. Today we've ordered Namibia's biggest crane to lift in the biggest electrolyzer in Southern Africa. So the electrolyzers are one of the key technologies here. They use the energy from the solar field to split up water into its two elements into hydrogen and oxygen. And with the hydrogen, we then manufacture iron. With the installation of the electrolyzer, it's the last piece of equipment that we lived into its place. So from today onwards, we will then only do the connections between all the different devices and technologies that we have and then we plan to start the production end of this year, beginning of next year. So this is now the pilot industrial scale. It's 15,000 tons of direct reduced iron that we can produce. That's roughly 27,000 tons of CO2 emissions that we abate by replacing carbon. Intensive iron and steel. The need for change and the need for green industrialization is so huge that everyone can have their place in it. It is of course, a lot of hard learning and we are only in a very early times. It is a humble beginning, but it is a beginning that is very, very promising.
