Researching sustainable future technologies: Integrative research between Namibia and Germany

May 6, 2025

Green hydrogen for everyone - Integrative research into the future technology of green hydrogen.

As part of an ongoing collaboration, the Namibia University of Science and Technology and the University of Stuttgart secured six months of funding for a collaborative research and learning project through Engagement Global's ASA Academia program.

During the project, researchers from Namibia and Germany will contextualize the Green Hydrogen Economy in the Namibia-German relationship. The primary focus is to make green hydrogen technology a better solution for people (social dimension), the environment (ecological dimension), the economy (economic dimension), and education and learning.

We are excited to have the opportunity to work on such issues with our fabulous fellows, Sarti Shikongo, Laura-Marie Fiedelak, Michael Naukushu, and Noah Schnitzler. They are dedicated to focusing not only on the technological side of things and the often repeated promises but also on the manifold critical dimensions.

The project is supervised by NUST's Academic Development and Support Division (Dr Colen Tuaundu, ADS), Prof Samuel John from the Department of Mechanical, Industrial and Electrical Engineering (DMIEE), Dr. Ludger Eltrop from Stuttgart's Institute of Energy Economics and Rational Energy Use (IER) and Dr. Thorsten Braun from the Centre for Higher Education and Lifelong Learning (zlw).
