The government of Djibouti has signed a memorandum of understanding with US-based Power to X developer CWP Global to move forward with a new 10GW renewable energy and green hydrogen project in the small North African state.

The unnamed project — which will include cable networks, pipelines, port loading facilities and drinking water for local communities — will produce green ammonia for export, and provide renewable energy to the nation, where only 62% of the population have access to electricity, according to the World Bank.
