Renewable H2 market potential and value chain analysis
The program "Promoting the Development of a Green 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 project "South Africa: Renewable H2 Market Potential and Value Chain Analysis" will focus on improving the conditions for companies to participate in a South African green hydrogen economy, generating and improving information on the renewable H2 market potential for South Africa, and assessing the most feasible applications in different time horizons. The H2/PtX value chain will be analyzed in detail to identify its strengths and weaknesses according to the requirements of the emerging H2 market. Based on this analysis, opportunities and recommendations for companies and local research institutions will be developed to close the identified gaps along the value chain.
In addition, the activities of this call aim at strengthening the technical capabilities of selected actors from politics, business, research and civil society in the field of (renewable) hydrogen.
The fulfillment of these two main objectives may pave the way for South African companies to participate in a South African (green) hydrogen economy and for improved technical capabilities.
