By comparison, the installed capacity of offshore wind power plants in Germany is currently about 8 gigawatts and is expected to grow to 40 gigawatts by 2040. The potential of West Africa is therefore huge \u2013 and inexpensive. According to the BMBF, large quantities of \u201cAfrican\u201d hydrogen can be produced at a cost of less than 2.50 euros per kilo \u2013 significantly cheaper than \u201cGerman\u201d green hydrogen, which is still expected to cost 3.80 euros around 2050. \n \n<\/div> \n<\/div> \n<\/div> \n<\/div> \n<\/div> \n<\/div> \n<\/div> \n<\/div> \n<\/section><\/p>\n\n
