      abstract     = {Green hydrogen is a promising solution within carbon free
                      energy systems with Sub-Saharan Africa being a possibly
                      well-suited candidate for its production. However, green
                      hydrogen in Sub-Saharan Africa is not yet investigated in
                      detail. This work determines the green hydrogen
                      cost-potential for green hydrogen within this region.
                      Therefore, a potential analysis for PV, wind and hydropower,
                      groundwater analysis, and energy systems optimization are
                      conducted. The results are evaluated under local
                      socio-economic factors. Results show that hydrogen costs
                      start at 1.6 EUR/kg in Mauritania with a total potential of
                      ~259 TWh/a under 2 EUR/kg in 2050. Two third of the regions
                      experience groundwater limitations and need desalination at
                      surplus costs of $~1\%$ of hydrogen costs. Socio-economic
                      analysis show, that green hydrogen deployment can be
                      hindered along the Upper Guinea Coast and the African Great
                      Lakes, driven by limited energy access, low labor costs in
                      West Africa, and high labor potential in other regions.},
