President Cyril Ramaphosa says the Africa Green Hydrogen alliance between the African member states brings opportunities that will help create between two and four million jobs by 2050.
Ramaphosa was speaking during the inaugural Africa Green Hydrogen Summit in Cape Town .
The summit has brought together African energy ministers, policymakers, investors, and research institutions to plan the continents emerging green hydrogen sector.
Ramaphosa says more than 52 large-scale hydrogen projects have been announced across the continent.
The alliances ambition targets 30 to 60 tons of green hydrogen production by 2050. Now this should be a great envy by those countries that once saw Africa as a place to come and just extract minerals, and I shouldnt say plunder, but come and extract the wealth of our continent. It is estimated that this could create quite a number of jobs.
