Sasol, BMW and Anglo American to ink new agreement for green hydrogen

Multi-national companies Sasol, BMW and Anglo American are expected to enter into a new agreement related to their work on green hydrogen in transport.

Green hydrogen is produced when water is split into oxygen and hydrogen, powered by renewable energy like wind or solar. The green hydrogen is then considered a low-carbon energy source, compared to fossil fuels like coal or oil. Its use as an energy or fuel source is of particular interest for industries that have difficulty in reducing emissions, such as steel and cement manufacturing or aviation and other modes of transport.

The summit will also see three coastal provinces – the Northern Cape, Western Cape, and Eastern Cape – enter into a memorandum of understanding to collaborate in developing an inter-regional green hydrogen strategy. This includes developing shared logistics, infrastructure and manufacturing facilities.

The Western Cape Director General, Dr Harry Malila, said the MoU deals with how the provinces need to support each other in developing green hydrogen capacities. There are still aspirations to collaborate with Namibia to develop a regional green hydrogen corridor spanning the two countries.In his address, Ramokgopa also spoke to the status of the Green Hydrogen Commercialisation Strategy, which is in the"last stages" of approval and in the process of being submitted to Cabinet.

"The sooner we can reach commercial scale in SA, the sooner we can accelerate the use of green hydrogen within our heavy industry as a decarbonisation and reindustrialisation opportunity," said Bate.
