President Cyril Ramaphosa believes the potential for South Africa to emerge as a significant player in the green hydrogen value chain is immense.

“This country is favourable, reliable and a stable place to conduct business. We are driving regulatory and legislative reform to make our economy more competitive and attract more investment so we can create more jobs.

“South Africa has a supportive legislative environment and experience in the deployment of renewable energy, with the largest installed capacity of wind and solar power projects on the African continent.” He said companies such as Sasol and PetroSA have expertise in the production of synthetic fuels including diesel, petrol and kerosene, and a range of chemical products.Sasol and the Northern Cape provincial government have made significant progress on the master plan for a green hydrogen special economic zone which aims to support 40 gigawatts of electrolyser capacity by 2050.

“This would require approximately 80 gigawatts of renewable energy, which is almost double South Africa’s current installed electricity generation capacity.” Ramaphosa said Transnet has issued a request for proposals for the development of additional port and rail infrastructure.“We hope to see international firms partnering with South African firms as we increase our renewable energy footprint, green hydrogen manufacturing capability and local production of value added products.”
