Ramaphosa was speaking at the unveiling of the world’s largest hydrogen-powered mine haul truck at Anglo American’s Mogalakwena mine in Limpopo.
The company says it has a short-term plan to have a fleet of powered hydrogen trucks by 2028 in order to reduce carbon emissions. Hydrogen is already also being used in some iron smelters in Europe and is seen as a key resource in moving the world’s heavy industries away from dirty coal, oil, and gas.“We, here in SA with today’s launch, have proven that we are taking a giant leap into the future of this economy of hydrogen.
“The feeling is actually extraordinary. I can’t explain how I’m feeling about driving a hydrogen truck for the very first time. When I was driving this truck … as I entered the cub I started to feel very overwhelmed. Operating a hydrogen truck requires someone who will multi-task, I feel like I’m in an aircraft,” adds Lekgau.
Hayi shame.... People need jobs.... People are hungry they not interested in hydrogen....
Our country is cursed to have lomjita as our President😭
AMERICAN
For mere fact that this is Anglo-American mine, there is nothing to celebrate, we know who benefits.
