In Namibia, researchers are developing a green hydrogen project. This initiative helps to grow vegetables in the desert, aiming to create a sustainable village. The project focuses on renewable energy sources to produce hydrogen and fertilizers.
The vegetables are grown using a hydroponic system, which saves water. The method uses special techniques to ensure the effective use of water. This is important in a dry area.
In the future, the project will expand to include more renewable energy. It aims to support local communities by improving food security.
