Strength in Partnership

GHFC is a joint venture between Industrial Promotion Services (IPS) and Westgass, established to build a 200,000 ton/annum green hydrogen-based fertiliser production facility in Uganda. The project will use 100MW existing hydropower capacity secured through a long-term agreement with the state-owned utility.

This collaborative initiative combines their resources and expertise to achieve high impact hunger and poverty reduction with 2-4x increased agricultural productivity per hectare, decarbonisation with an equivalent of 217k tonnes/year avoided CO2, reduced deforestation due to increased soil nutrition and productivity of existing farms and lastly it will have large impact in industrialisation by the introduction of large-scale and technologically advanced manufacturing.
