Abstract

Globally, as countries are seeking to decarbonise their energy systems, green hydrogen is emerging as a crucial energy source that can enable the decarbonisation of these sectors in line with the 2050 net zero targets.

The objective of this project is to determine the skills that will be required for the green hydrogen value chain in South Africa. The qualitative methodology adopted consists of synthesising secondary and primary data through a literature review and stakeholder consultations.
