At CWP, we are very proud to play a major role in realizing this new phase of sustainable, emission-free economic growth in Africa. We intend to use our experience in developing a leading PtX portfolio over the past five years to move forward quickly and collaboratively in the development of this project in Djibouti, a country with exceptional natural resources and a highly strategic location.
