H2/PtX-market opportunities for South Africa
The project "Promoting the development of a hydrogen economy for South Africa (H2.SA)" is part of the Development Cooperation (DC) program "Energy and Climate (Green Economy) in South Africa". The program aims to support the partner government in achieving its climate goals and to contribute to a more environmentally sustainable and less coal-based as well as climate-smart economy.
The activities included in the tender “H2 PtX-Market Opportunities for South Africa: Analyses of Lighthouse-Projects and Environmental-Social Impact Assessment” are focused on facilitating the realization of renewable H2 PtX-Projects in South Afri-ca, by improving the requirements for companies to participate in a South African H2 economy (Output-Indicator 2), and the knowledge of relevant stakeholders on potential environmental and social impacts of a hydrogen economy.
The fulfilment of these two main targets may pave the way for unlocking the South African H2 PtX-Market for the production of renewable H2 and its derivates in a sus-tainable way, as well as steer their future exportation to international markets, bring-ing sustainable benefits to the South African society and economy. Services provided by GFA:
- SITE MAPPING of suitable sites for H2/PtX production with a focus on ex-port opportunities
- Pre-feasibility studies for selected H2/ PtX lighthouse projects
