Within 6 years, Senegal has added more than 345MW of clean power, accounting for nearly a quarter of its energy mix. This is a concrete example of the impact of policy implementation prioritising progress towards net-zero and accelerating energy access to above 70%, the 12th highest in Africa.
Solar PV-E for hydrogen production converts fluctuating PV electricity to stable chemical energy, and provides a stable and time-shifted energy source to support the power grid and address practical energy demands. In addition, the products of water electrolysis (H2, O 2) are produced separately at the two electrodes of the electrolytic cell.
EAIF acted as co-lender alongside the Dutch development bank FMO, to support the development of the €42m landmark project. A Euro equivalent US$1.5m capital grant extended by PIDG Technical Assistance will ensure the project is designed to maximise supply of clean power to Senegal's grid, whilst remaining economically viable.
Such complementary conversion of solar PV electricity, solar thermal energy, and low-carbon fuel provides a synergistic and efficient means of sustainable H2 production with potentially long-term solar energy storage on a vast scale. 1. Introduction
Compared with conventional hydrogen production via industrial SMR approach, saving in methane consumption by the new approach corresponds to the amount of combusted methane as substituted by solar thermal energy via CSE, and by solar PV electricity for the separation of H2 and CO 2 products .
