Europe is intensifying efforts to enhance its energy independence by significantly increasing imports of 'clean' hydrogen. South Africa has emerged as a prime candidate to produce and provide green hydrogen to meet this demand. The European Union Commissioners and representatives from German companies have shown keen interest in South Africa's potential to supply green hydrogen. This move is not only aimed at fostering energy security but also at boosting economic development in both regions. The partnership between Europe and South Africa in the green hydrogen sector is poised to strengthen international trade ties and facilitate the transition towards sustainable energy sources.
