South Africa is advancing its green hydrogen sector as a strategic component for economic growth and sustainable development. President Cyril Ramaphosa emphasized that green hydrogen leverages Africa's abundant renewable energy resources—such as solar, wind, and hydropower—to decarbonize heavy industries, create jobs, stimulate investment, and promote inclusive growth across the continent. The Africa Green Hydrogen Alliance, which includes countries like Egypt, Kenya, Mauritania, Morocco, Namibia, and South Africa, has announced more than 52 large-scale green hydrogen projects. Global demand for green hydrogen is projected to increase sevenfold by 2050, presenting significant investment opportunities. The alliance anticipates the sector could generate between 2 million and 4 million jobs by 2050. South Africa is positioning itself as a world-class green hydrogen production hub, with several major projects underway. These initiatives are seen as a potential solution to the country's economic challenges, particularly in the context of unreliable and unaffordable electricity. The continent's renewable energy potential and mineral wealth are central to this emerging global hydrogen revolution, with Africa playing a pivotal role in meeting the growing demand for clean hydrogen as countries worldwide seek to decarbonize their industries, transport, and energy systems.
