Improving Mauritania''s energy production, the United Nations-approved wind farm project (Nouakchott) reduces CO₂ emissions by 66,438 tonnes annually. Mauritania''s electricity grid is heavily dependent on fossil fuels, predominantly gasoil and fuel oil, with some diversification into solar and hydro. By contrast, this project''s
Mauritania aims to become a major player in the hydrogen industry by 2040. In May 2021, Mauritania signed a memorandum of understanding with a renewable energy developer, CWP Global, for the development of a USD 40bn project with the aim to produce 30 gigawatts of wind and solar energy to power electrolyers for the production of green hydrogen.8
This new IEA report – the first focusing on Mauritania – explores the potential benefits to Mauritania of developing its renewable energy options and includes an analysis of the water requirements of hydrogen and the potential for expanding potable water availability through seawater desalination.

In Mauritania and across West Africa, Power Africa is partnering with governments to support their interest in moving away from these kinds of fuels, pivoting towards cleaner energy sources.
The energy contained in a barrel of oil is approximately 5.8 million British thermal units (MBTUs) or 1 700 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of energy. Mauritania''s total energy production was equivalent to about 8 million barrels of oil in 2019. By 2043, it is estimated to increase more than fourfold to 34 million barrels of oil equivalent.

Mauritania is stepping confidently into a new era, positioning itself as a resilient energy player with a bold vision for the future. Beneath its windswept deserts and coastal waters, the nation holds vast untapped resources – oil, gas, minerals, and the potential of green hydrogen – poised to transform its economy and uplift its 4.9m citizens.
The sustainable development of Mauritania''s high-quality wind and solar resources could serve as a catalyst for the country to achieve its vision of strong and inclusive economic growth, according to a new IEA report
Mauritania Total Energy Consumption. Energy consumption per capita is estimated at 0.5 toe in 2022 (compared to 0.3 toe in Mali and Senegal and 0.6 toe in Morocco), including 355 kWh of electricity (compared to 130 kWh in Mali, 360 kWh in Senegal, and 970 kWh in Morocco).
As a result, these are the five most important low-carbon energy projects in Mauritania to watch in 2022. Project Nour, in partnership with Chariot, aims to construct 10 GW with a $3.5 billion investment.
Mauritania's 754 km coastline on the Atlantic Ocean provides a unique opportunity for harnessing wave energy. The average wave power along the coast is 17.5 kW/m, making it an ideal location for wave energy technology.
A major investment in wind energy infrastructure in Mauritania could not only provide a significant source of renewable energy for the country, but also make a significant contribution to global efforts to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and combat climate change.
Investing in Mauritania can offer a wide range of opportunities, particularly in the energy sector. With major gas discoveries and large-scale renewable energy projects in development, the country is poised for significant growth in this area.
The wind power plant in the northern town of Boulenouar will also significantly increase the share of the country’s energy mix. The significant share of renewable energy in Mauritania’s total energy portfolio is impressive, especially compared to other countries on the continent.
