A recent article in The Namibian explores Namibia’s growing role in the global green hydrogen economy, highlighting the country’s major projects and international partnerships. The piece raises critical questions about who truly benefits from these initiatives and the need to ensure Namibia’s sovereignty in shaping its green energy future.
Linus Kalvelage (Project C01 Future in Chains) and Benedikt Walker (Project C02 Energy Futures) were featured in the article, contributing expert insights on the socio-economic and environmental implications of green hydrogen development. Their inclusion underscores the importance of independent scientific research in shaping discussions around sustainability, energy transitions, and equitable resource management. The article spotlights Kalvelage’s and Walker’s publication on “Germany’s extraterritorial agency in Namibia’s green hydrogen industry” that was recently published in the Journal of Economic Geography.
