Premier Zamani Saul is leading a Northern Cape delegation on a working visit to Tokyo, Japan, to showcase the Province’s green hydrogen project in Boegoebaai. The delegation includes key officials like the MEC for Finance, Economic Development and Tourism, Venus Blennies-Magage, and the acting CEO of the Northern Cape Economic Development Agency (Nceda), Shawn Modise. The visit aims to engage with Japanese companies and institutions known for their expertise in infrastructure development, energy transition, and financing to support the Northern Cape's green hydrogen initiatives. The Boegoebaai project, part of South Africa's green hydrogen strategy, plans to establish a green hydrogen hub with significant electrolyser capacity by 2050. This initiative is designed to capitalize on the Northern Cape's renewable resources to produce green hydrogen and ammonia for international markets, with a focus on Japan. The commitment to green hydrogen production positions the Northern Cape as a key player in South Africa's energy transition efforts.
