Chariot to establish hydrogen and ammonia supply chain between Mauritania and Europe
Green hydrogen and ammonia can be produced with "abundant" renewable energy in West Africa's Mauritania and shipped to Northwest Europe to cater to burgeoning demand from shipping and other industries.

UK-based renewable energy firm Chariot Transitional Power has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Port of Rotterdam. The duo will link up with buyers and secure contracts for hydrogen and ammonia.
Last year Chariot signed an MoU with Mauritania’s Ministry of Petroleum, Mines and Energy for Project Nour, a 10 GW green hydrogen project in the country. Chariot is currently conducting feasibility studies and seeks to form a consortium for the project.
Chariot intends to distribute green hydrogen from Mauritania to locations across Europe.
Mauritania aims to lead in the global supply of green hydrogen as the country has abundant solar and wind energy, Mauritania’s Energy Minister Abdessalam Ould Mohamed Saleh said last year.
“Our green hydrogen project in Mauritania has the potential to establish the country as one of the cheapest producers of green hydrogen,” said Chariot’s chief Benoit Garrivier.
