Coherent government policy will ensure exports of hydrogen-enabled chemicals, fuels and products to markets in Europe and Asia

Coherent government policy will ensure exports of hydrogen-enabled chemicals, fuels and products to Europe and AsiaAll over the world interest in hydrogen as a vector for clean energy is growing as industries and governments investigate and implement national decarbonisation strategies. With the rapidly falling costs of wind and solar power, the opportunity to produce zero-carbon hydrogen has caught the attention of global energy players.

Hydrogen is exceptionally energy-dense per unit of weight, and through its direct combustion, its use in fuel cells and its use as an industrial feedstock, it can decarbonise a greater range of sectors than renewable electrical energy alone. Importantly in the context of global climate change, the use of hydrogen produced from renewable energy adds no carbon emissions.

SA has world-class renewable potential that can be leveraged to supply clean energy to the world and transform the domestic economy. Hydrogen is categorised into three broad types: grey, blue and green — based on the quantity of carbon that is emitted in their production and the production process itself. Most investor attention is now focused on green hydrogen.

SA wine industry in trouble after losing R400m weekly during alcohol banThe wine industry could turn sour, with 13 000 hectares of vineyards lost during the lockdown - and even at level 1, it is running at a R7.5 billion loss. The prices at “boutique wineries” are in most cases out of the reach for local consumers, particularly in the current circumstances. They should not expect much help locally....!! Unless, meaningful discounts are offered on bulk buys. CoruscaKhaya If it didn’t sour then it wouldn’t be wine CoruscaKhaya That's good news. I see many cape addicts recovering! Perhaps is because of access to quality wine which was apparently exported before the pandemic. PaarlPearlmustfall
