What EU’s $13 billion investment in SA means for hydrogen

From the newsletter

The European Union’s recent $13 billion investment in South Africa could significantly accelerate the country’s green hydrogen ambitions. Around $10 billion will support the Just Energy Transition (JET), driving hydrogen development and expanding renewable power capacity, creating the foundation for large-scale hydrogen projects.

• Green hydrogen is identified as a priority in South Africa’s Just Energy Transition plans, supporting the country’s shift from coal dependency, which remains among the highest in the world.

• Beyond production, the funding supports industrialisation, job creation and skills development, ensuring hydrogen projects drive inclusive economic growth and strengthen South Africa’s competitive edge in Africa and internationally.
