Infinity Power is a joint venture between Egypt’s Infinity and the UAE’s renewables developer and investment company Masdar.

Infinity Power Holding — a joint venture between Egypt’s Infinity and UAE’s renewables developer and investment company Masdar — and Conjuncta GmbH, a German project developer, have signed an initial agreement with Mauritania to develop a green hydrogen project.

The project, which will be spread over four phases, is expected to produce up to 8 million tonnes of green hydrogen or other renewable fuels of non-biological origins upon completion.

The size of the project was not disclosed.

Development of the green hydrogen industry in Mauritania will bring environmental, economic and social benefits, Abdessalam Saleh, the African country’s Minister of Petroleum, Mines and Energy, said.

“Our country is determined to play a leading position on the global map of the green hydrogen economy in the coming decades … the consortium [Infinity Power and Conjuncta] … has very strong technical and financial capabilities”, Mr Saleh said.

Hydrogen is set to play a key role in the transition to a net-zero energy system and help to decarbonise sectors that are difficult to electrify — such as heavy industry and long-haul transport, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency.

Globally, the hydrogen industry is expected to be worth $183 billion this year, up from $129 billion in 2017, according to Fitch Solutions.

The new plant will be located near Nouakchott, the capital city of Mauritania.

It can reach an electrolyser capacity of up to 10 gigawatts, making it capable of producing up to 8 million tonnes of green hydrogen or its equivalent in renewable fuels of non-biological origins.

The green hydrogen, ammonia and other renewable fuels produced from the plant will be used for exports.

Abu Dhabi-headquartered Masdar has already established a considerable presence in Africa, having formed its Infinity Power joint venture with Egypt’s Infinity to target opportunities in the continent.

In November, Masdar, Infinity Power and Hassan Allam Utilities signed an agreement with the Government of Egypt to develop a 10GW onshore wind project — one of the largest wind farms in the world.

“We are extremely delighted to partner with the government of Mauritania in building this green hydrogen plant, which will provide not only the North-West but the entire continent of Africa with a clean, renewable energy source that will in turn foster a cleaner, greener future for us all”, said Mohamed Mansour, chairman of Infinity Power.

Established in 2020, Infinity Power aims to develop utility-scale and distributed solar energy and wind power projects in Egypt and Africa. The company also has 12GW of projects in the pipeline at different stages of development.

The first phase of the Mauritania plant of 400 megawatts is expected to be operational by 2028. The overall project will provide jobs to nearly 3,000 workers during construction and to 1,000 workers when operational.

“It [the project] will have a strong link to Germany both as a technology provider and a potential offtaker of green energy”, said Stefan Liebing, chief executive of Conjuncta.

“It is by far the largest bilateral investment project ever and we look forward to making it a success story that will attract a lot more business activities between the two countries.”

Founded in 2004, Hamburg-headquartered Conjuncta GmbH is a project development and investment firm with a focus on Africa.

With more and more Indian MSMEs looking to expand their global footprint and build products and solutions for the world, Dubai is fast emerging as the preferred destination for Indian MSMEs and startups looking to go global.

As the global economy continues to evolve, Micro, Small and Medium scale enterprises are becoming increasingly important for driving economic growth and development. Indian MSME enterprises, often referred to as the backbone of the Indian economy, are now looking to expand beyond the domestic markets by choosing Dubai as their preferred destination for global expansion.Dubai’s business-friendly operating environment, an open and transparent taxation framework coupled with a high consumer adoption rate, a relatively low cost of customer acquisition rate and access to a large customer base due to its strategic location has made it the preferred hub for global expansion, attracting a slew of Indian micro, small and medium enterprises.

Dubai with its stability, government effectiveness and reliability, provides for perfect access to the Middle Eastern and North African markets (MENA) with over 1 billion customers, which is one of the major reasons why Indian MSMEs are looking to expand their global footprint through Dubai.

Besides, there has been a significant improvement in the trade links between African nations and the UAE over the past decade, which has resulted in tremendous growth for the region with a vision for continued growth. The city further has an untapped potential to double its exports to African nations.

Dubai’s strategic location

Dubai’s central location makes it a gateway not only to the Middle East region but also to Europe, Africa and Asia. Located strategically between the East and the West, Dubai continues to lure many businesses with its enabling physical infrastructure that facilitates import and export via land, sea, and air.

The Philadelphia based Focused Studios held a premiere for their latest film “Money Lovers” at the Regal UA King of Prussia followed by a Q & A session with the cast and crew.
“Money Lovers” is a romantic thriller that follows Payton, a seductive crypto currency thief (played by: Tiffany D.) and her gang as they encounter Lyon Collins, a former hacker turned detective (played by Writer / Director: Kyree Terrell).
The film was shot in two weeks in and around Philadelphia. Giving opportunity to new and experience crew members and over 120 local actors. Money Lovers is based on true events surrounding Kyree being scammed out of some money purchasing what he thought was shares of Bitcoin.
This is writer/director/actor Kyree Terrell’s 2nd feature film premiere in less than 2 years. He also premiered a sitcom (Bae vs Bae) in that same time span. We asked Kyree what keeps him so busy?
Kyree: When I wanted to do this with other people and I went to castings and auditions, not getting roles and opportunities became very discouraging. So I decided I would go after it myself. I studied film and television production fomr every angle for the past 12 years and now its my turn to do it myself. I love the fact that I can produce when I want to produce and what I want to produce and no one can tell me “no”.
The film premiere brought out over 500 people on a Thursday night and another 2 hundred people the following night. These were numbers that the management at kop said they’d never seen from an independent film without any big stars attached to it.
Vernon Ray the films Director of Photography and leader of the anti-gun crims movement “Shot Camera’s Not Guns” was happy to be a part of this amazing film
Vernon: Listen, “Kyree is like a brother to me. I’ve watched him work so hard over the last 5-6 years and give so many people opportunities including myself. When he reached out and asked me to be the DP on this amazing film I simply said yes because with his talent and his work ethic I already knew the film would turn out super dope and tonight is a testament to that! Look at all the people who came out to support us!
Up next for Focused Studios is “Work Bae 2” the sequel to last year’s hit film Work Bae now streaming on TUBI. 2023 is poised to be the companies break out year!
