This study identifies the most attractive business opportunities across the emerging green hydrogen (GH2) and Power-to-X value chains in South Africa. It includes an analysis of Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) for the identified business opportunities and formulates market entry recommendations for local enterprises. The study also lays out the knowledge and skills required for the emerging GH2 market and suggests what measures would be required to support companies and research institutes to participate in those future markets. The study also gives recommendations as short- and medium-term actions to encourage industry players and research institutes to leverage South Africa’s potentials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
