LONGi Hydrogen has signed a major equipment supply agreement with an international customer to provide its LONGi ALK Hi1 electrolyzer and Balance of Plant (BoP) system for a flagship green hydrogen project in Namibia. Scheduled to begin operations in the first quarter of 2027, the project is designed to accelerate decarbonization across several sectors, including road and rail transport, off-road machinery, maritime operations, and off-grid power generation.
The Namibia green hydrogen initiative will integrate international standards with cutting-edge electrolyzer technology, positioning it as a key model for Africa’s emerging hydrogen economy. The supplied equipment will comply with CE marking and other global safety and regulatory requirements, ensuring high levels of operational reliability and performance over its lifecycle.
At the heart of the system is an integrated IGBT power supply, which offers high efficiency, low harmonic distortion, and rapid dynamic response—significantly reducing both energy consumption and operational costs. The combination of the electrolyzer and BoP provides a complete, optimized hydrogen production solution, enhancing both system reliability and economic efficiency.
Jun Ma, President of LONGi Hydrogen, expressed pride in the company’s growing role in Africa’s clean energy transformation.
“LONGi Hydrogen has always adhered to a customer-centric approach, continuously advancing green hydrogen technology and project implementation,” he said. “The signing of the Namibia project marks another breakthrough for us in Africa—following our earlier 10 MW project in North Africa—and expands our footprint to ten countries worldwide. This milestone strengthens our international presence and accelerates the development of a diversified, multi-regional hydrogen ecosystem.”
As global demand for clean hydrogen rises, Namibia’s project underscores Africa’s growing potential to become a key player in the global energy transition. With LONGi’s advanced technology and experience, the project is expected to set new benchmarks for efficiency, scalability, and sustainability in green hydrogen production across the continent.
