GreenGo Energy secures land to develop mega green hydrogen project in Mauritania

• GreenGo Energy has secured its first African agreement in Mauritania to develop large-scale green hydrogen project. 
• The agreement grants GreenGo Energy access to more than 100,000 hectares of land near Nouakchott, Mauritania, to develop the transformative Megaton Moon Green Hydrogen Project.

With this agreement now in place, GreenGo Energy enters the development phase of the project. During this period, we will conduct detailed site and geotechnical surveys, meteorological data collection, and undertake feasibility studies.

The Megaton Moon Project adopts a phased approach to scalability, ensuring alignment with market demand and supply chain readiness between 2029 and 2033. Full capacity will include 6 GW of electrolysis, 6.8 GW of onshore wind, and 6.3 GWp of solar PV. Phase 1, set for completion by the end of 2029, will deploy 500 MW of electrolysis, 600 MW of onshore wind, and 600 MWp of solar PV, producing approximately 339,000 tons of green ammonia annually.

Mauritania offers unique advantages for green hydrogen production:

• Exceptional resources: World-class solar and wind energy potential
• Strategic location: Coastal access for water desalination and export
• Economic edge: Production costs up to 50% lower than Northern Europe
• Favorable policies: A proven track record of attracting global energy development
• Market access: Close proximity to European demand centers

Mauritania, formally the Islamic Republic of Mauritania, is a sovereign country in Northwest Africa. It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, Western Sahara to the north and north-west, Algeria to the north-east, Mali to the east and south-east, and Senegal to the south-west.

GreenGo Energy is committed to fostering socioeconomic progress in Mauritania. This includes the development of an education and vocational training program in partnership with Zealand Business College (ZBC) in Denmark to equip the local workforce with the skills needed to support the green energy transition.

The vision for Megaton Moon extends far beyond energy production. By addressing chronic water, power, and resource shortages, the project will help transform Nouakchott and surrounding areas into thriving hubs of green industrial and urban development.
