North African nations need to develop clear strategies, not only for hydrogen production but also for how it fits into their broader energy policies. This includes regulatory support for renewable energy projects, hydrogen certification, and cross-border trade agreements.
However, this transition is not without its complexities and challenges. As covered in our recently published 2025 Outlook Report, The State of African Energy, North Africa offers several compelling advantages, marking it as a prospective green hydrogen mega-producer.
The African Union (AU) has adopted the African Green Hydrogen Strategy at the continental level, establishing a foundation for large-scale GH2 production, investment, and trade. Regionally, organisations such as ECOWAS are developing policies to integrate GH2 into their energy systems, ensuring alignment with national energy transition goals.
The capital-intensive nature of green hydrogen projects means funding is another critical barrier. While there are signs of interest from international investors, the risk perception in some North African markets could deter the necessary influx of capital.
