Empowering Southern Africa with Green Hydrogen Solutions
Key Ideas
  • Elemental Energy to distribute Hexagon Purus' products in Southern and East Africa, introducing Type 4 cylinders and hydrogen distribution systems to growing green hydrogen projects in the region.
  • Focus on green hydrogen production for export and local use cases, highlighting the potential for hydrogen storage in mobility applications like heavy-duty trucks in the long term.
  • Hexagon Purus supports the shift to sustainable energy solutions in Southern Africa by providing clean alternatives to diesel generators, aiding in emission reduction and decarbonisation efforts.
  • Partnership enables Elemental Energy to expand its role as a project developer and equipment supplier, promoting equal access to new hydrogen technologies in developing markets.
Elemental Energy has secured a distribution agreement with Hexagon Purus to bring cutting-edge hydrogen infrastructure solutions to Southern and East Africa. The partnership will introduce leading Type 4 cylinders, multi-element gas containers, and distribution systems to support the growing number of green hydrogen projects in the region. The availability of Hexagon Purus' products in major markets like South Africa, Namibia, and Kenya signals a significant step towards decarbonisation and sustainable energy solutions. Elemental Energy's CEO, Michael Patterson, emphasizes the vast potential for green hydrogen in Africa, both for export and local applications, including hydrogen storage for mobility solutions. The focus on integrating hydrogen power systems with existing energy infrastructure to replace diesel generation aligns with the global push for decarbonisation. The use of Hexagon Purus' cylinders in Elemental Energy's projects, such as the backup system at Jaci's Safari Lodge, showcases the practical application of green hydrogen technology. By providing clean alternatives to diesel generators, Hexagon Purus aims to support Southern Africa's transition to sustainable energy, reducing carbon emissions significantly. This partnership not only positions Elemental Energy as a key player in the region's energy transition but also promotes the adoption of new hydrogen technologies in developing markets, fostering equal access and promoting a greener future.
