Expertise
- The 100+ years of accumulated real-life renewable energy projects experience of African Technical
Advisors team provides unparallelled know-how to de-risk renewable energy and green hydrogen projects in the African continent and beyond. - From utility scale solar and wind renewable generation to large scale storage,
transmission and distribution, African Technical Advisors bring proven knowhow to tackle energy transition projects of all sizes - The competitiveness of energy transition projects is built on the ability to identify
risks inherent to the nature of these projects and African Technical Advisors experts help identify and mitigate project risks. - Green hydrogen is a promising pathway to decarbonize the economy beyond electricity generation from fertilizer industry to transportation thanks to e-ammonia, SAF and e-fuels. African Technical Advisors has developed
extensive in-house modeling capabilities to identify and address strengths and mitigation strategies of this emerging economy. - Africa hosts some of the most competitive green hydrogen production locations in the world and African
Technical Advisors is the ideal partner that combines world-class expertise and local project knowledge to tap into these promising resources.
