As we saw at COP27, momentum is building rapidly on the African continent to pursue large-scale renewable energy and green fuels. 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.

Thus, with this project CWP Global is expanding its portfolio in Africa. Indeed, the company is one of the world’s leading developers of large-scale renewable energy and renewable hydrogen projects. Thus, the company puts its skills to work in the development of renewable energy in a region particularly vulnerable to climate change.
