GreenGo Energy plans one of the world’s largest green energy parks in Mauretania

Through a unique architecture and strategic location to the capital, the park will enable truly transformative potential for Mauritania in terms of socioeconomic, green industrial, green farming and urban development. The new paradigm will be abundant, low-cost water and green energy - in the capital city and the desert. Mauretania is located in the north west of Africa.

Megaton Moon is planned for a staged implementation process closing the circular architecture to reach 60GW/190TWh of hybrid solar and wind generation and 35GW electrolysis producing 4 million tons of green hydrogen yearly or further processed 18 million tons of green ammonia, GreenGo Energy says. The staged implementation targets COD of first pilot stage by 2028 and last stage by 2033-2035.

Karsten Nielsen, CEO of GreenGo Energy comments: “The climate crisis is real. We need action immediately to reach Paris commitments and NetZero. But we also need action at scale and with impact! Megaton Moon embodies climate action with an ambition to deliver 1% of the total global green hydrogen demand by 2050 to reach NetZero. So - we only need one hundred projects at this scale completed and distributing green fuels globally by 2050. This is doable.“

“Our government is very pleased with the Megaton Moon project, in particular the elements that will foster massive development potential for our country”, says Ibrahima Diagana, Country Manager for GreenGo Energy in Mauritania, and also an industry veteran within oil and gas in the region.
