Some of the most needed skills include knowledge of potential hazards when working with or around hydrogen, knowledge of hydrogen-related regulations, standards, and codes, and understanding of electrochemical reactions, processes and hydrogen production processes. The hydrogen economy is expected to grow significantly in South Africa, and R319 million of the R1.4 trillion investment plan for the just transition to cleaner energy has been targeted for this sector.

“This assessment highlights that in contrast to developed countries such as Germany and due to the sector’s nascency in South Africa, there are limited opportunities available for green hydrogen–specific WBL in the country,” Nzimande said.
