South Africa is one of the best places in the world for concentrating solar power. So why has the country’s energy plan largely ignored it?

Gas from Mozambique is running out, leaving South African industry facing a supply crisis. Imported propane gas could offer a workable solution.
India links new rural power lines to solar projects, providing cleaner energy for farms, while South Africa has ways for communities to benefit from green energy profits.
Chemical engineering specialists have mapped out the risks for South Africa in setting up a multi-billion dollar green hydrogen industry.
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.
