Talking about green hydrogen: What is it all about?

Given excellent wind and sun resources, countries in the Southern African region are positioning themselves to benefit from the potential future green hydrogen markets, by making significant infrastructure investments. But what is green hydrogen? Will investing in it really create jobs and wealth? This booklet presents accessible information regarding the promises, risks and impacts green hydrogen could have for communities in South Africa.

It was developed as part of the Heinrich Böll Foundation Cape Town's work to uphold host communities’ right to Free Prior and Informed Consent, and support civil society capacity to engage in hydrogen related policy. 'What is it all about?' is jointly published with Green Connection, Earthlife Africa, Economic Justice Network of FOCCISA, Mining Affected Communities United In Action (MACUA), Women affected by Mining United in Action (WAMUA) and WoMin African Alliance.
