The south west African Republic of Namibia sought to become the sustainability hub of Africa and aimed to become the first carbon-neutral country on the continent. This was highlighted on Wednesday by Namibia Investment Promotion & Development Board Executive Director: Investments and New Ventures François van Schalkwyk. He was addressing an Invest in Namibia Roundtable, which was a side event of the Africa Energy Indaba, being held at the Cape Town International Convention Centre. “We believe that our energy mix will be predominantly green by 2040,” he reported. “Namibia has high, constant wind speeds, particularly on the south coast. It has the highest potential [in the world] for PV [photovoltaic solar] output.”
