Not really knowing how much fuel your country needs is a problem.
Chemical engineering specialists have mapped out the risks for South Africa in setting up a multi-billion dollar green hydrogen industry.
Sasol’s Secunda facility is the largest greenhouse gas emitter in the world. New research looks at what’s needed to move the petrochemical manufacturer away from coal.
The European Union gave South Africa grants of €32 million to set up a green hydrogen industry. But the real cost to do this will be €20 billion. More funds are needed.
The key to reducing green hydrogen costs in the future lies mainly in technological improvements.
