In September 2024, the European Union announced two grants totalling approximately $35 million to enhance South Africa's green hydrogen initiatives. Green hydrogen projects utilize renewable energy to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen, producing fuel applicable across various sectors, including transportation, petrochemicals, and steel.
As South Africa prepares to build a major hydrogen hub, there are concerns over infrastructure gaps, and whether communities will see the rewards. Map of the Hydrogen Valley and planned green hydrogen projects designated as Strategic Integrated Projects (SIPs) by the South African government; hydrogen production capacity by 2050 in parentheses.
Green hydrogen is essential for decarbonization efforts in South Africa and Europe. European nations are investing in green hydrogen projects across Africa to ensure a reliable fuel supply. In March 2025, the EU announced that it would financially support green hydrogen projects in South Africa as part of a €4.7bn Global Gateway Investment Package.
According to a report by National Business Initiative, South Africa could produce green hydrogen for $1.60 per kg by 2030, one of the lowest costs worldwide. The Hydrogen Roadmap targets at the following impact of its measures:
