The Technology Assessment (TA) pilot project in South Africa, in collaboration with UNCTAD, delved into assessing green hydrogen electrolyser technologies. The launch event showcased the TA Report, emphasizing the benefits and risks of adopting and producing these technologies in the country, with a focus on competitive commercialization and implications for national development. This initiative, serving as a pilot technology assessment, aims to bolster national capacity in technology assessment and explore the potential impact on energy security and decarbonization efforts in South Africa. The event provided a platform for discussions on TA adoption in Africa and key insights from the South African TA on green hydrogen electrolyser technologies. It also addressed the broader application of TA in tackling sustainable development challenges across the continent. Through engaging policymakers, experts, and stakeholders, the event aimed at raising awareness about TA practices and opportunities for wider diffusion in Africa. With the rapid advancement in frontier technologies, emphasizing green hydrogen and electrolyser technologies for sustainable development was a core theme. The launch event, held in conjunction with the 2024 Science Forum South Africa, facilitated networking opportunities and discussions on the potential of green hydrogen and electrolyser technologies. By bringing together a diverse group of stakeholders, the event contributed to knowledge-sharing, capacity building, and policy dialogue regarding the adoption and diffusion of TA practices in Africa, with a positive outlook towards leveraging technology for sustainable development.
