President Cyril Ramaphosa says the country is likely to transition towards the production and use of electric vehicles as South Africa recognises its potential to produce green hydrogen.

inaugural SA Green Hydrogen Summit in Cape Town,Green hydrogen is made by extracting hydrogen from water using green or renewable energy sources like solar and wind. The green hydrogen is then used in energy-intensive industries like iron smelting, long-distance trucking and even in jet airplanes.is rising significantly, which is likely to lead to job creation.

President Ramaphosa says South Africa’s Green Hydrogen Energy project will create jobs, attract investment and bring development to rural provinces as well as support a just transition to cleaner energy. The country has identified Green Hydrogen as one of the four big frontiers of the Just Energy transition. This is as the country sets itself on a path to becoming a global producer and exporter of green energy.

President Cyril Ramaphosa says, “We want this Just Transition to leave no one behind. It needs to address the needs of workers, and the needs of communities that are affected but more importantly to lead to economic development. We must see industries spurning in areas where these projects will be implemented.”

Wtf does the joker think we are gonna get the electricity to charge all these vehicles from

The word 'Likely' is certainly no indication of real committment of the South African government to make a concerted effort towards moving to a sustainable energy future. Focus on fixing Eskom and PV and wind energy first. Electric vehicles should be a lower priority.

They can't even produce electricity for this corrupt country!!

Electricity must fall

Is there a way for this green hydrogen to be used to produce electricity? I mean.....

Where does this man come from we don't even have enough power for our homes,bullshit

With what electricity?

🤣🤣🤣🤣With Loadshedding 3 times a day? How will the cars even recharge?

These guy lives a soft life in dream land

And then Cyril woke up and realized we have loadshedding.. so ja that won't work my fellow South Africans!!

But is this a bad dream.we dont have electricity.we are in the dark every now n then here u come talking about electric car.what a shame..stop inheriting others who are able to run their country well...here we shine with the langauge stage what what

Oh what kak!!!!! There's no power to charge the vehicles. Can you imagine the integrity of the grid with a few million electric cars plugged into it. Further than that Government will inflate the price of the said vehicles with taxes created just because.

In 100 years first you need poeple to have jobs in order to get these type of vehicles

🤣

This President is been dreaming since that 1st day in Parliament

Is this a joke? Does he k ow that one needs electricity to power an electric car? South African cant even produce electricity

They burning coal and using diesel for their backup generators to produce electricity at Eskom and probably are the largest contributors of carbon emissions...Sort out the root of the problem first...
