Cabinet has approved an extension of the Hydrogen Society Roadmap (HSRM) to 2030, with the aim of shifting its focus from research to commercialisation.
“The HSRM builds on what has been achieved in the past 10 years to prepare South Africa to move from research and development to manufacturing and commercialisation,” Cabinet said in a statement.
The local manufacture of hydrogen products and components would, Cabinet added, contribute towards job creation, skills development, economic transformation and support a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
The document would be made accessible through the Department of Science and Innovation’s website: www.dst.gov.za.
