Skills Needs and Gap Analysis in Namibia’s PtX Sector

The Namibian government's Hydrogen Strategy aims to develop a supportive ecosystem for the green hydrogen and Power-to-X (PtX) sectors, fostering innovation and entrepreneurship. The PtX industry presents an excellent opportunity to establish the country as a regional leader in sustainable energy production and to generate diverse job opportunities along the PtX value
chain.

Skills development is key to equip Namibians with the necessary knowledge, expertise, and skills to participate in the PtX industry, ultimately enhancing employability.

This study explores the skills requirements in the PtX industry, identifies skills gaps and other educationrelated barriers in Namibia, and proposes actions to enhance the employability of Namibians.
