GreenGo Energy has filed an application to Ministry of Petroleum, Energy and Mines in Mauritania for the development of one of the world’s largest green energy parks. Megaton Moon will through a unique architecture and strategic location to the capitol enable truly transformative potential for Mauritania in terms of socioeconomic, green industrial, green farming and urban development. The new paradigm will be abundant, low-cost water and green energy—in the capital city and the desert.

Megaton Moon is planned for a staged implementation process closing the circular architecture to reach 60 GW/190 TWhr of hybrid solar and wind generation and 35 GW electrolysis producing 4 MMtpy of green H₂ or further processed 18 MMtpy of green ammonia. The staged implementation targets COD of first pilot stage by 2028 and last stage by 2033–2035.

Karsten Nielsen, CEO of GreenGo Energy said, “The climate crisis is real. We need action immediately to reach Paris commitments and net zero. But we also need action at scale and with impact. Megaton Moon embodies climate action with an ambition to deliver 1% of the total global green H₂ demand by 2050 to reach net zero. So, we only need one hundred projects at this scale completed and distributing green fuels globally by 2050. This is doable.”
