Scoping Report and Environmental Management Plan for the purposes of an Environmental Clearance Certificate application "2.2 Any activity entailing a scheduled process referred to in the Atmospheric pollution prevention ordinance, 1976" "9.1 The manufacturing, storage, handling or processing of a hazardous substance as defined in the Hazardous Substance Ordinance, 1974" "2 The process or activity which requires a permit, licence, or other form of authorization or the modification of or change to existing facilities or any process or activity which required an amendment of an existing permit
The objective is to establish a 6-hectare (ha) aquafarm on land situated along the Namibian coastline in Wlozkasbaken between Swakopmund and Henties Bay, in close proximity to the Erongo Desalination Plant and conveniently near the Walvis Bay Port. This initiative seeks to cultivate seaweed in ponds, fed by water pumped from the sea, in raceway ponds or paddlewheel ponds, which are approximately 50 m long, and 10 m wide or 100m long and 10m wide, respectively, with a water depth of 70 cm, excavated into the sand and lined with a specialized white pond liner.
The project proposes to install two (2) 508mm pipelines at a distance of 1.6 km long, to deliver 42,000 cbm of seawater per day to the aquafarm, located along the Namibian coastline in Wlotzkasbaken between Swakopmund and Henties Bay, in close proximity to the Erongo Desalination Plant and conveniently near the Walvis Bay Port. It comprises of 3 pumps each pumping 600 cubic meter per hour.
The objective is to install a regular 2 MW solar plant, as part of the SKORPIoN project that is proposed to be located along the Namibian coastline in Wlotzkasbaken between Swakopmund and Henties Bay, in close proximity to the Erongo Desalination Plant and conveniently near the Walvis Bay Port. The project is projected to consume a maximum of 1300 kW; however, the majority of this consumption will stem from processes operating continuously, 24/7.
The SKORPIoN project incorporates electrolyzers to produce green hydrogen in the proposed production facility. These electrolyzers are designed for high efficiency and durability, ensuring optimal hydrogen production rates with minimal energy loss. The core process involves splitting desalinated water (H₂O) at about 2cbm per day into hydrogen (H₂) and oxygen (O₂) using electricity. The green hydrogen produced is stored in high-pressure buffer tanks, ensuring a reliable supply for subsequent chemical processes.
Wind is the preferred energy source for the production of biofuels, as it, in contrast to solar power, does not require substantial land allocation. The strategy entails the installation of two 4MW units. The SKORPIoN project is proposed to be located along the Namibian coastline in Wlotzkasbaken between Swakopmund and Henties Bay, in close proximity to the Erongo Desalination Plant and conveniently near the Walvis Bay Port. The project is projected to consume a maximum of 1300 kW; however, the majority of this consumption will stem from processes operating continuously, 24/7.
