THE GREATER TORTUE AHMEYIM (GTA) PROJECT

Greater Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA) is an offshore Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) project based on upstream gas production in 2km-deep waters on the maritime border of Mauritania and Senegal. It is the deepest offshore project in Africa till date.

The resources of this world-class field are estimated at 20 tcf

It's exploitation is expected to begin in 2023.

The gas will be produced from a deepwater subsea system and a floating unit

It is ranked as one of the top 10 hydrocarbon discoveries of the last decade

The GTA is Mauritania's first world-class discovery with gas production and revenue potential 30-times greater than any activity to date. It positions Mauritania as an emerging major player in gas exports and has the potential to transform the country's economy.

HYDROGEN POTENTIAL PROJECT NOUR FOR GREEN HYDROGEN

Project Nour for green hydrogen. The green hydrogen project, “Project Nour”, spans two onshore areas marking a total of 5,000km², across northern Mauritania.

This location takes advantage of the wide scale wind and solar potential, important for large-scale renewable energy generation and low-cost hydrogen production

Aims to exploit 10 GW of clean energy to produce 3 million tons of green ammonia and 600.000 of green hydrogen annually

Project Nour also benefits from geographical proximity to Nouadhibou (Mauritania’s deep-sea port) and to large European markets, with the potential to make Mauritania one of the world’s main producers and exporters of green hydrogen.

PROJECT PARTNERS:

PROJECT AMAN FOR GREEN HYDROGEN

The monumental green energy project will be located in the Dakhlet Nouadhibou and Inchiri regions of the northwestern African country, and represents one of the largest of its kind in Africa and is expected to transform the regional energy mix while generating critical revenue for the Mauritanian government.

To build 30 GW of green hydrogen, including 18 GW of wind capacity and 12 GW of solar to generate approximately 110 TWh of electricity.

Produce an estimated 1.7 million tons of green hydrogen or 10 million tons of green ammonia, annually.

The provision of over 50 million m³ of fresh water for both domestic and agricultural usage and hydrogen-fueled transportation opportunities.

The project is expected to increase Mauritania’s gross domestic product by up to 40-50% by 2030 and 50-60% by 2035.

PROJECT PARTNERS:

MAURITANIA'S GREEN STEEL AND GREEN INDUSTRY

In May 2022, Mauritania’s state-backed SNIM (Société Nationale Industrielle et Minière de Mauritanie) signed an MoU with ArcelorMittal establishing a steel unit. ArcelorMittal is carrying out a pre-feasibility study in order to develop a direct reduced iron plant, which will be used to produce steel using green hydrogen. Using green hydrogen will be a vital metallic for transitioning the steel industry to net zero.

The provision of over 50 million m³ of fresh water for both domestic and agricultural usage and hydrogen-fueled transportation opportunities.
