WINDHOEK, April 11 (Xinhua) -- Namibian President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah on Friday inaugurated Africa's first industrial-scale green iron plant, a facility that produces iron with zero carbon emissions.
The HyIron Oshivela Plant, located in the country's Erongo Region, uses solar power and hydrogen to produce iron without carbon emissions. It is expected to begin production later this month with an initial capacity of 15,000 tonnes per year, with plans to reach 2 million tonnes by 2030.
