Fernando Prioste, CEO of COBA Group, talks to The Energy Year about Angola’s potential for deploying pumped-storage hydroelectricity and hydrogen solutions as it develops a robust energy industry and the central role of COBA Group in the country’s power arena.

Can a gas grid be used in Angola?

This is not possible in Angola as there is no gas grid, but the hydrogen obtained from renewable energies can be shipped overseas or converted into ammonium. In turn, this chemical compound can be used as an energy storage component that could be exported or used for the fertiliser industry.

Can Angola achieve energy self-sufficiency?

Angola has everything it needs to achieve energy self-sufficiency through renewable sources – not only water, but also sun and wind. With these three natural resources, Angola could achieve the transition from oil and gas to renewable energies, and then boost its energy self-sufficiency.

Can you inject hydrogen into a gas grid in Angola?

In countries with a well-developed gas grid, it is possible to inject hydrogen directly into the grid with up to 15-20% in the blend without any kind of problem. This is not possible in Angola as there is no gas grid, but the hydrogen obtained from renewable energies can be shipped overseas or converted into ammonium.
