The World Bank has approved funding for the Mauritania Development of Energy Resources and Mineral Sector Support (DREAM) Project, aimed at strengthening the country’s green hydrogen, energy storage and mining sectors.

The project will support geological surveys across critical mineral basins and advance the Green Hydrogen Law. Mauritania will finance its first large-scale energy storage system to harness solar and wind power under efforts to achieve its 2030 universal energy access target.

Ibou Diouf, World Bank Country Manager for Mauritania, stated, “The Mauritania DREAM Project is a transformative step toward a more resilient future that entails stronger economic growth, more jobs, and long-term energy security.”

The DREAM project will enhance institutional capacity, promote technical education and empower women in the energy and mining sectors.
