Proposal for an Angolan National Hydrogen Strategy
In June 2023, the Angolan government announced a proposal to develop a National Hydrogen Strategy, with a roadmap to gradually move away from oil dependence towards sustainable energy utilisation and decarbonisation. The proposed strategy aligns with the global movement towards sustainable energy and is expected to deliver a range of benefits to the Angolan people. The government’s commitment to this initiative demonstrates its dedication to advancing sustainable development while reducing its carbon footprint.
