South Africa has plans to link its massive platinum reserves to the green hydrogen market. Platinum is a key input in hydrogen fuel cell technology. A new public-private partnership is investigating ways to transform the country’s platinum belt into a “hydrogen valley”. Feasibility studies are ongoing to identify potential green hydrogen hubs, and the country is well placed to take advantage of a worldwide market for green hydrogen that could be worth $2.5 trillion by 2050.
