The Federal Ministry of Education and Research and the Namibian Government signed a Joint Declaration of Intent on the setting up of a hydrogen partnership in August 2021. The Research Ministry is providing funding of up to €40 million for German-Namibian cooperation on hydrogen. In return, stakeholders from German research establishments, universities and companies will benefit from a privileged partnership with Namibia.

There are three main focuses in the cooperation with Namibia: (1) strategy and feasibility studies, (2) pilot and R&D projects, and (3) a scholarship programme.

The Federal Ministry of Education and Research has the lead responsibility for this cooperation on hydrogen.
