An overview of the challenges and opportunities of the climate crisis, as it changes the world we know.Minister in the Presidency Mondli Gungubele said green hydrogen could play a bigger role in South Africa's energy mix.
"This initiative is a historic opportunity for South Africa to be a key role player in the world… If we do well and this takes off if green hydrogen is the energy source of future, that makes us the Saudi Arabia of the future. We can't miss the opportunity," Gungubele added.The week ahead will see South Africa marketing itself as a large-scale, low-cost green hydrogen production hub, said Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure Patricia De Lille.
Dr Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, head of Infrastructure South Africa, said that South Africa has competitive advantages in the green hydrogen industry. This is mainly because its renewable energy resources such as solar and its mineral endowments – namely platinum group metals - are both used for the production of green hydrogen. There is a pipeline of green hydrogen projects in the country worth R300 billion, he said.
Premier of the Northern Cape Zamani Saul said the green hydrogen economy presented an opportunity to create jobs and fight poverty. The province is the prime destination for renewables – accounting for 64% of all South Africa's renewable energy investments, or R128 billion. Northern Cape Premier Zamani Saul and Western Cape Premier Alan Winde today sign an agreement to collaborate in developing a green hydrogen corridor.
