Enlit Africa Digital Event - The role of Africa in the global hydrogen-generation market

Hydrogen is the buzz-word of the clean energy sector right now. Right now, at the beginning of the journey Africa could carve out any role in this burgeoning market – supplier of raw material, end user or creator/exporter/innovator.

What, though are the key steps Africa must take to prepare to play a critical role in the global hydrogen value chain? And, more importantly, what can and must we do, to proactively write our own role rather than have it imposed on us?

Discussion points 

• The current state of play for development of hydrogen across Africa 
• Exploring hydrogen development 
• The business case; and applications
• What are the imperatives that make Africa the right space to develop hydrogen technologies?

Moderator: Hendrik Malan, CEO – Africa, Frost & Sullivan, South Africa
