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, less coal-based and climate-friendly economy.
The activities included in the tender "H2 PtX Market Opportunities for South Africa: Analysis of Lighthouse Projects and Environmental-Social Impact Assessment" will focus on facilitating the realization of renewable H2 PtX projects in South Africa by improving the conditions for companies to participate in a South African H2 economy (Output Indicator 2) and by improving the knowledge of relevant stakeholders about the potential environmental and social impacts of a hydrogen economy.
The fulfillment of these two main objectives can pave the way for the development of the South African H2 PtX market for the production of renewable H2 and its derivatives in a sustainable manner, as well as for their future export to international markets, thus bringing 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 export opportunities
- Pre-feasibility studies for selected H2/PtX lighthouse projects
