There is significant reliance on wind and solar energy as the core inputs in the production of green hydrogen. The said reliance on pure inputs makes it almost impossible for South Africa to produce green hydrogen. A simple corrective measure would be going hybrid on the inputs of the hydrogen production. The results will not be purely green hydrogen, however it would be a step closer to meeting the global standards on the definitional requirements for green hydrogen.
Then why is green hydrogen important, why not just use the wind and solar energy as is?
The upcoming article will unpack the above question. However, we would love to hear your thoughts on it.
Does SA have the capability to produce pure green hydrogen, why even go to such lengths?
Listen to Teb Blom regarding the state of Eskom. His views further raise concerns, beyond technicalities, that South Africa may not actually have the capacity to produce green hydrogen.
