Green Brine Technologies, established in early 2023, targets the conversion of desalination brine into industrial chemicals, aiming for full-scale commercialization by 2029. The project, currently in its feasibility phase, includes a three-stage approach: mineral extraction, chemical production, and by-product generation.
The company plans to procure 48% of project costs locally, emphasizing small and medium enterprises in the Erongo region. Expected tax contributions could reach approximately US$7.2 million by 2031, while employment may rise from seven to over 120 jobs by 2029. This initiative is positioned to reduce Namibia's annual US$28 million expenditure on imported industrial chemicals.
