Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, the Minister of Electricity and Energy, highlighted at the Green Hydrogen Summit in Cape Town the transformative potential of green hydrogen for Africa. He emphasized that green hydrogen is not just a clean fuel but a strategic enabler that can reposition the continent within global value chains. The industry offers a promising economic opportunity, with projections of over US$300 billion in global exports and the creation of millions of new jobs. Ramokgopa stressed the need for policy frameworks that emphasize value localization, intra-African trade, and investment in infrastructure and technology transfer. He called for a shift from extractive patterns to beneficiation and regional integration, advocating for coordinated regional frameworks to advance the green hydrogen industry. The Africa Green Hydrogen Report serves as a blueprint for scaled project execution, signaling Africa's readiness to move to a larger scale. While highlighting the urgency for Africa to shape its position in the emerging green hydrogen market, he underlined the importance of African voices and agency in leading the continent's energy future. The Africa Green Hydrogen Alliance predicts significant economic growth and job creation potential for member countries. Ramokgopa urged proactive engagement in the green energy economy through the right policy frameworks and regional coordination, positioning green hydrogen as a key driver of Africa's industrial evolution.
