Green Hydrogen Skills Development and Infrastructure in South Africa

Planned

South Africa aims to become a global leader in green hydrogen production by 2050, leveraging its abundant natural resources. The project involves developing new occupational profiles, curricula, and establishing Centres of Specialisation and a Green Hydrogen Skills Academy to address the skills gap. The initiative also highlights the need for massive capital investment in infrastructure such as pipelines, refuelling stations, and electrolysis plants, while addressing challenges like high operational costs, water scarcity, and project delays.
