South Africa is strategically positioning itself in the global energy transition by harnessing its abundant renewable resources, particularly solar and wind power, to produce clean hydrogen. The South African Hydrogen Commercialisation Strategy lays out ambitious targets, including deploying 10 GW of electrolysis capacity by 2030 and 15 GW by 2040. This initiative presents a significant opportunity for the country's automotive, mining, and energy sectors, leveraging its rich endowment of platinum group metals critical for hydrogen production and fuel cells. While funding challenges persist for early green hydrogen projects, South Africa's push towards green hydrogen is crucial for its role in global decarbonisation efforts. The country's proactive approach signifies its commitment to becoming a global leader in hydrogen production, both for domestic use and international export.
