Copia Group of Companies honored as Local Content Champion at African Energy Week 2026.

[gentle music] Are you looking to advance your career in Namibia's upstream petroleum industry? The Petroleum Training and Education Fund, Petrofund, has opened scholarship applications for the 2027 academic year.

Queso said the award reinforces its commitment to strengthening African capabilities by combining local knowledge, technology, operational excellence to deliver services that meet international standards and operational excellence to deliver services that meet industry requirements.

The company also thanked the African Energy Chamber, its employees, customers, and partners for their support, emphasizing that the recognition represented a renewed responsibility to develop local expertise, meet international standards, and create value across Africa's energy sector.

/Kaaman Traditional Authority leader urges youth to explore opportunities in green hydrogen and oil and gas.

Kaaman Traditional Authority leader Chief Johannes Frederick has encouraged young Namibians, particularly those in the Karas Region, to prepare for opportunities emerging in the green hydrogen and oil and gas sectors.

Energy and agriculture can share land, benefit from each other, create a more resilient system that provides for both electrical and food security.

Green hydrogen is being produced using renewable electricity through a process called electrolysis.

Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe.

When water is split using electricity from renewable sources, the resulting hydrogen can be stored and used as a clean fuel.

Heavy industry, aviation, long-distance shipping: these sectors are difficult to electrify directly, but they can be powered by hydrogen fuel produced from renewable electricity.

The technology is still developing, still becoming cheaper, still scaling up, but the trajectory is clear.

Green hydrogen represents a missing link in the energy transition, a way to decarbonize sectors that seemed impossible to decarbonize.

Electricity from renewable sources is transformed into a fuel that can replace fossil fuels in various applications and that, when used in fuel cells, produces mainly water and heat with no direct carbon dioxide emissions.

The government of India has unleashed a massive financial wave aimed at reshaping the energy landscape.

Under the National Green Hydrogen Mission, an outlay of Rs.

19,744 crore stands ready to fund incentives for electrolyser manufacturing.

This strategy transitions from mere sustainability marketing into a core strategic tool for long-term business viability and decarbonization.

The government is backing this shift with the National Green Hydrogen Mission targeting 5 million tonnes of annual production by 2030.

Sectoral investments anticipate reaching approximately $89 billion with a program outlay of Rs 17,490 crore.

Wari Energies is pivoting to construct a 1-gigawatt electrolyser facility in Gujarat targeting commercialization by 2027.

The fee is capped at 300 rupees for general merchants, creating a complex pricing environment where small ticket buyers effectively subsidize larger transactions.

For investors, the message is complex.

While green hydrogen missions offer long-term growth with an $89 billion investment target by 2030, immediate returns depend on execution capabilities in engineering and research sectors.

Global spending is projected to surge to $2.5 trillion by the end of the decade, yet only a fraction is currently outsourced.

Making green iron ore for exportation is a great opportunity, South Africa's Joburg Ndaba heard on Thursday, October 8, when Kearney South Africa energy partner Francis Phillips drew attention to South Africa's Renewable Energy, Iron Ore and Platinum Group Metals endowments in urging that South Africa's green hydrogen thoughts extend beyond green hydrogen molecules alone.

In response to a question during a panel discussion chaired by NOA Group CEO Carol Cornelison, Phillips said, There's opportunity for us to bring the renewable energy that can make green hydrogen together with some of the mineral deposits that we have.

Critical elements would, however, include having the renewable energy and rail and port infrastructure in place to facilitate export.

But, absolutely, there's an opportunity around how we take the renewable energy, make green hydrogen, but maybe not to export green hydrogen, and then use that to add value benefits on local grounds before we export it to other countries.

A big opportunity there, Phillips pointed out in the panel discussion in which Ceriti Resources, CEO Mike Teike, National Transmission Company South Africa, CEO Mondebala, and ESCOM GM Strategy Matthew Memflithelwa also took part and which was covered by Mining Weekly.

We all know that we are endowed with renewable energy, a critical element of making green hydrogen.

Today, we have a conversation between Christian Grickel, Head of Vertical Chemicals and Energy at Siemens Digital Industries, and Philippe Glasser, Head of Hydrogen Business at Siemens Digital Industries.

Their topic of discussion, how green hydrogen can energize a better energy transition.

With that out of the way, Christian, start us off.

Welcome back to our energy podcast series.

In our previous episode, we had a discussion about the big shifts in energy, the energy trilemma and the crucial role of open energy platforms in connecting the entire value chain and the newly developing value chain.

Today we are taking that conversation a step further.

We are zeroing in on green hydrogen, not just as a concept or a buzzword, but as a critical component that must compete on mass scale.

Green hydrogen plays a major role for many green molecules.

All examples of fossil fuel induce climate change.

In energy news, the Spanish company Moeve has started building the first phase of the Andalusian green hydrogen valley called Onuba at its energy park in Palos de la Frontera in the south.

The project is huge investments, including EU funding, and is expected to create over 8,000 jobs across its supply chain.

Its aim is also to support cleaner fuels for road, aviation, and maritime transport, helping reduce emissions from regional industries.

And then I think they had a falling out because Andrew Forrest, Mike Cannon and Brooks was focused on the cable to Singapore, which I think is more like 4,200 kilometres or something of that order, you know, immensely expensive and no precedent that I'm aware of for it anywhere in the world.

And Forrest, because he wants to explore the possibility of reducing green iron in Australia for which you would need green hydrogen, He was more focused on generating electricity in the Northern Territory for use in the Northern Territory to perhaps produce green iron.

Now, what's happened is the cost of producing green iron has not come down to anywhere near the level where green iron could be remotely produced.

I think even with a carbon price.

Of course, yeah.

Things have been done in the past, you're just replicating it somehow, right? But tell me, how is the...

Green hydrogen story changed in Australia now because at one stage it was, of course, a lot of hype, a lot of money.

I have just a few questions.
