My collage

This is my room. We got to Windhoek with plenty of time to check in, but we had some drama doing that. Then the “masterclass” was at a completely different hotel but they started late so we missed nothing.

VERY interesting information. 

Not necessarily promising, green hydrogen is very inefficient. It takes an incredible amount of electricity to produce hydrogen, electricity that could be much better used for other development purposes, and it could be better used in terms of reducing climate change. Years ago people were arguing that it was useful to “store” renewable energy but the prices of batteries keep falling, so it only makes sense to “store” it this way if you need to store it for a long time. Even with outstanding renewable energy resource green hydrogen could only compete if governments (Europe) decide they wanted to MAKE it competitive.  That said, if you have EXCESS electricity - your systems are producing more than people are using - then the electricity would other wise be wasted and then it makes sense.

Very much looking forward to what I learn tomorrow.
