“We are keen to harness the opportunities of the hydrogen economy. We aim to be not only an important hub for the production and export of green hydrogen, but also of green ammonia.” – South African president Cyril Rampahosa
He was at the annual African Mining Indaba conference in Cape Town. His commitment to green hydrogen – that is hydrogen produced from renewable energy sources – is built on strong foundations.
In March of this year, the South African Department of Science and Innovation (DSI), published a Hydrogen Society Roadmap, which sets out a national hydrogen strategy aimed at realising domestic energy security needs, while also positioning the country to export green hydrogen and ammonia to Europe and Asia.
