South Africa is actively pursuing opportunities in the global decarbonisation effort to drive industrialisation, as mentioned by Minister of Trade, Industry and Competition, Parks Tau. The country is committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions through initiatives such as the Green Hydrogen Commercialisation Strategy and the White Paper on Electric Vehicles. Minister Tau emphasized the potential of green hydrogen as an export opportunity for South Africa due to its abundance of natural resources like sunshine and wind. He urged collaboration with other African countries to capitalize on the industrialisation prospects presented by the global demand for green hydrogen. Additionally, South Africa is aligning with the worldwide transition to electric vehicles through the White Paper on Electric Vehicles, focusing on fostering local industry growth and supporting the automotive sector. Challenges like the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) introduced by the EU are being addressed to prevent negative impacts on South Africa's economic growth. The country's approach aims to not only decarbonize but also stimulate economic growth and investment.
