An assessment has positively determined that it is commercially viable for the country to competitively produce ammonia and fertiliser near the dormant Neckartal Dam.
A framework is currently being developed to operationalise the feasibility outcomes.
This was revealed by the Namibia Green Hydrogen Programme (NGH2P) on their 3rd traction report, the Namibia Green Hydrogen Mid-Year Review 2025 released yesterday.
The Neckartal Dam Fertiliser Green Scheme Feasibility study has revealed that establishing a competitive ammonia and fertiliser production plant near Neckartal Dam is commercially possible.
Moreover, it aligns with the dam’s original agricultural purpose, and will reduce external dependence on fertilizer.
“Local production would reduce fertiliser imports, enhance food security, and support agricultural exports,” the report read.
The Neckartal Dam is the biggest dam in the country and has been holding water for evaporation purposes mostly, as the government has not established any agricultural activities yet, despite acquiring land around it.
