Orano desalination plant turns to solar – Namibia, SA

According to the third issue of the Chamber of Mines’ e-newsletter for 2022, electricity consumption in the current process has been reduced by 40% through an innovative energy recovery system.

The cumulative production since 2013 has now reached over 83 million cubic metres.

Namibia plans to tap sea water to keep uranium mines running – Namibia

Namibia is pressing ahead with the construction of a new desalination plant in the central coastal Erongo region to meet demand for water from uranium mines and other users.

A feasibility study for the plant, which will produce 70,000 cubic meters (2.5 million cubic feet) of water a day, has been finalized and a site has been acquired, Agriculture, Water and Land Reform Minister Calle Schlettwein said in an emailed statement on Thursday.

Arrangements are now being made to extract sea water and secure the required power, [

Namibia poised to become major renewable hydrogen producer – Namibia

With more than 300 days of sun a year, the large, but sparsely populated country is enough to make any solar energy provider twitch, with the nation piquing the interest of investors.

According to Wall Street Journal, Namibia has now already sourced €40 million in funding from Germany to use on feasibility studies and pilot projects related to ‘green hydrogen’.

Green hydrogen is being touted as a key resource in achieving decarbonisation in the energy system. It is the simplest and most abundant element on earth, with the ability [

Namibia is poised to become the renewable energy hub of Africa – Namibia

In March 2021, as I launched Namibia’s Second Harambee Prosperity Plan (HPPII), I reflected on the need to emphasize the importance of multilateralism in our efforts to foster an enduring economic recovery.

Namibia’s policy on international relations and cooperation is anchored in multilateralism because our very independence was a product of international solidarity.

We are a nation that was midwifed by the United Nations. It is for this reason that as we crafted our green economic recovery plan; we knew that it had to build a more sustainable [

Govt hunts for loans to fund N$3,5b desalination project – Namibia

The government has over the years been weighing plans to extract water from the Atlantic Ocean to solve the scarcity of water for the central and coastal towns, which includes Windhoek.

The government is also exploring the option of partnering with Botswana on the proposed project to provide water to the drought-stricken neighbouring country.

The Namibian reported earlier this year that the proposed project could cost more than N$3,5 billion.

Desalination could bolster South Africa’s water supply – South Africa

As South Africa faces a deepening water crisis, desalination should be considered as part of the solution towards water security.

The 2 800 km coastline, stretching from Mozambique to Namibia, positions South Africa well to use sea water to help combat water scarcity, says ABB Energy Industries South Africa ABB power and water manager Joyce Moganedi.

“South Africa is a water scarce country. Our situation is becoming more desperate because of climate change, water pollution and overwhelmed water infrastructure.

Second desalination plant to boost coastal development – Namibia

“This is so that we can stay ahead and can say ‘water is not a problem, we will give you water when you want to invest here’, instead of ‘when you come, we promise to give you water’. Investors do not react on promises, they react to factual situations.

That is why we say the desalination plant is no longer a contention, it is a reality. We will build it,” he said during the groundbreaking ceremony of the Kuiseb collector 2– Schwarzekuppe–Swakopmund-pipeline near Walvis Bay on Saturday.T

Schlettwein confirms second desalination plant for coast – Namibia

The plant will be the country’s second to convert seawater to freshwater after the N$3-billion Orano desalination plant at Wlotzkasbaken, constructed for the French uranium mining company Areva and commissioned a decade ago.

“The feasibility study for the construction of a new desalination plant has been completed and shows that an additional desalination plant is viable and needed,” Schlettwein said.

“A new plant will therefore be constructed by placing the project into a public-private partnership through which private capital is leveraged, private operational capacity is roped in, while [
