The African Development Bank Group announced on 18 September that it would provide a total of $20 million in reimbursable grants for four green hydrogen or derivatives projects in Egypt, Morocco, Namibia and South Africa. The selections followed a proposal call held from 10 April to 11 May 2026 under the Africa Green Hydrogen Programme.
The Sustainable Energy Fund for Africa is expected to provide the financing, which is intended to prepare projects for investment. The awards remain subject to approval by the Bank’s board, so the announcement does not represent completed grants or construction starts.

Measurement and privacy details
Google Analytics measurement starts only if you allow it. After consent, automatic measurement may cover scrolls, outbound link clicks, downloads, video engagement, site searches and basic form interactions; search terms may be detected from URL parameters. This site’s own code does not send form field values; email redaction in automatic measurement is best-effort, not guaranteed. Our manual page-view event uses a cleaned URL. You can change your choice later. Visits that begin with consent may also send numeric LCP, INP and CLS performance measurements after Analytics loads. A first or later grant starts this on the next page load; withdrawing consent stops these performance reports for this page. The preference cookie lasts six months; advertising measurement and personalization stay off.
