Chariot Limited
("Chariot", the "Company")
MoU for Development of Large-Scale Green Hydrogen Project in
Mauritania
Chariot partnering with Mauritania to support its objective to
become a
world leader in the production of green hydrogen
The Government of Mauritania, through the Ministry of Petroleum,
Mines & Energy and Chariot (AIM: CHAR), the Africa focused
transitional energy company, are pleased to announce that they have
signed a Memorandum of Understanding ("MoU") to progress a
potential green hydrogen development, denominated as "Project
Nour", of up to 10GW.
-- Project Nour has been given exclusivity over an onshore and
offshore area totalling approximately 14,400 km(2) to carry out
pre-feasibility and feasibility studies with the intention of
generating electricity from solar and wind resources to be used in
electrolysis to split water to produce green hydrogen and oxygen.
The traditional method for creating hydrogen splits natural gas
into hydrogen as well as carbon dioxide, a contributor to climate
change.
-- Chariot to deploy its in-house team who have a track-record
of successfully delivering large renewable projects in Africa to
immediately commence work on assessing the wind and solar
resources, environmental impact as well as macroeconomic and social
impact studies.
-- Benefiting from Mauritania's world class solar and wind
resources, Project Nour has the potential to allow Mauritania to
produce the cheapest green hydrogen in Africa and to become one of
the world's main producers and exporters of green hydrogen and its
derivative products, close to potential large European markets.
-- These products have the potential to replace traditional
fossil fuels in both power generation and chemical manufacturing
processes, with a significant reduction in associated emissions of
greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide.
-- Intention to carry out partnering process on the project with
the objective to form a world-class consortium.
H.E Minister Abdessalam Ould Mohamed Saleh of Mauritania's
Ministry of Petroleum, Mines & Energy, commented:
"Developing Mauritania's green hydrogen industry promises to
bring a combination of environmental, economic and social benefits
to our country. We have the potential, and desire, to be a world
leader in the field of hydrogen production from renewable energy
sources. The Ministry is pleased to have signed this agreement with
Chariot and hopes for a long and rewarding partnership."
Adonis Pouroulis, Acting CEO of Chariot, commented:
"I am very excited by today's announcement of this agreement
with the goal of quickly realising the potential of green hydrogen.
In Mauritania, Chariot has a history of previous significant
investments and bringing in world-class partners to projects, and
we are looking forward to working with the Government of Mauritania
again to fast-track Project Nour.
This is a potential large new market, set to bring multiple
benefits to all parties and deliver positive impact to Mauritania.
We thank the Government of Mauritania for the opportunity to
partner with them on what we believe will be one of Africa's
largest projects of its kind and look forward to providing updates
regarding the near-term pre-feasibility study and beyond."
