Bart Biebuyck: “Hydrogen will be a vector for local development in Africa”

With its immense potential for renewable energy, Africa is well placed to contribute to the development of the hydrogen industry worldwide. Europe is also planning to use this natural resource to produce some of the hydrogen it needs to decarbonize its heavy industries. During the 13th edition of the Arbois and Mediterranean Round Tables, which ended on May 4, 2023 in Aix-en-Provence, France, Bart Biebuyck, Executive Director of the European Clean Hydrogen Partnership, explained the possible benefits of cooperation between the European Union and Africa in the field of green hydrogen.
