German Energy Company Withdraws from Namibian Green Hydrogen Program

According to a press statement released by the non-profit European Centre for Constitutional and Human Rights (ECCHR), the German energy company, RWE, withdrew from the agreement it had with Hyphen Hydrogen to purchase ammonia made in Namibia. The ECCHR works in collaboration with the Nama Traditional Leaders Association (NTLA).

According to the statement, the NTLA is making a claim for the Sperrgebiet (Forbidden Zone) as their ancestral land and that the planned hydrogen project in the Tsau-//Khaeb National Park is moving forth without their consent. "The NTLA calls on the Namibian government to fulfill its international human rights obligations and to guarantee the right to self-determination and Free, Prior and Informed Consent in every project planned on their ancestral land," the statement reads.

On the other end, an RWE spokesperson indicated that they “can confirm that RWE is currently not pursuing any projects in Namibia,” adding that “demand for hydrogen and hydrogen derivatives such as ammonia is developing more slowly than expected in Europe. Against this backdrop, we have reviewed the relevant projects at RWE. This also included the project with Hyphen in Namibia”.

World Bank's Arbitration Body Blocks Niger from Selling Uranium

The international court of arbitration in Washington, D.C. on Friday ordered Niger's government to stop the sale of uranium, which Orano, a French multinational company, claims has been stolen from it. The court also ordered the release of Orano's representatives held in Nigerien custody since May.

The Nigerien military has reportedly been in control of Orano's operations since December 2024 as part of what they claim to be regulatory measures of raw materials mined by foreign entities. With that, Orano's mining licence was suspended, bringing a halt to the company's operations.

In reporting overall losses as a result of this halt, Orano reports that over 1 000 tonnes of uranium concentrate has not been exported, amounting to a loss of $200 million.

The court's ruling stated that should Niger violate the order, Orano would be entitled to seize assets and royalties owned by the nation abroad.
