South Africa has supported hydrogen research since 2007 through the HySA programme, funded by Department of Science Technology and Innovation (DSTI). With the emergence of a burgeoning green hydrogen (GH2) economy and ambitions to supply a potential lucrative export market to Europe and Japan, focussed research can contribute to establish South Africa as a GH2 production and export hub. This paper highlights the potential market share of GH2 and derivatives that could be supplied by South Africa to satisfy international demand. The paper then describes current South African research activities along the GH2 value chain. Research supported by the public and private sector is considered. Existing research activities are analysed to determine the relevance for current policy objectives and recommended research topics, identified through stakeholder engagement, are identified.

摘要

South Africa has supported hydrogen research since 2007 through the HySA programme, funded by Department of Science Technology and Innovation (DSTI). With the emergence of a burgeoning green hydrogen (GH2) economy and ambitions to supply a potential lucrative export market to Europe and Japan, focussed research can contribute to establish South Africa as a GH2 production and export hub. This paper highlights the potential market share of GH2 and derivatives that could be supplied by South Africa to satisfy international demand. The paper then describes current South African research activities along the GH2 value chain. Research supported by the public and private sector is considered. Existing research activities are analysed to determine the relevance for current policy objectives and recommended research topics, identified through stakeholder engagement, are identified.
