MEGATON MOON:
POWERING THE FUTURE WITH GREEN HYDROGEN FROM MAURITANIA

GreenGo Energy is expanding its global footprint with Megaton Moon, a large-scale green hydrogen and ammonia project in Mauritania. Located south of Nouakchott, the project is designed to harness the region’s exceptional renewable energy potential and contribute significantly to the global energy transition.

A new chapter in Africa

In partnership with the Government of Mauritania, GreenGo Energy has secured access to over 100,000 hectares of land for the development of Megaton Moon. The project will be built in phases from 2029 to 2033, aligning with infrastructure readiness and market demand.

Mauritania offers a unique combination of strong wind and solar resources, a strategic coastal location, and progressive energy policies, including Africa’s first Green Hydrogen Code. These factors make it an ideal setting for green hydrogen production at scale.

Project Scope

Megaton Moon will, at full capacity, feature:

  • 6 GW electrolysis capacity

  • 6.8 GW onshore wind

  • 6.3 GWp solar PV

  • 4 million tons of green ammonia produced annually

First phase, targeted to be in production by mid-2031, includes:

  • 500 MW electrolysis

  • 600 MW onshore wind

  • 600 MWp solar PV

  • Production of approx. 355,000 tons of green ammonia per year

Beyond energy: Local impact

Megaton Moon is designed to deliver broad socioeconomic benefits. In addition to producing green ammonia, the project will generate surplus water and electricity that will be used for green farming, support local industrial development such as green steel production, and create additional job opportunities.

We are also launching education and vocational training initiatives in collaboration with Zealand Business College (ZBC), helping to build local capacity and ensure long-term community engagement.

A strategic investment in the future

With competitive production costs and a strong policy framework, Mauritania is positioned to become a global leader in green hydrogen. Megaton Moon represents a strategic investment in sustainable energy, economic development, and climate action.
