While 2020 may be remembered for the tragic COVID-19 crisis, it was also an unprecedented year for the global energy transition and the growing momentum of hydrogen technology. Many countries, in aligning their pandemic response with longer-term goals, have announced strategies to develop hydrogen as a key energy carrier.

Hydrogen is a chemical element with the symbol H and atomic number 1. It
is the simplest, lightest and most abundant element in the universe. Yet, in
nature, hydrogen does not typically exist by itself. It has to be produced from
compounds that contain it – one of them being water (H2O).
The recent commitments to carbon neutrality by 2050 have put the spotlight on the critical role that hydrogen can play to achieve net-zero targets. Production of hydrogen from water and renewable electricity through electrolysis (green hydrogen) can contribute to reducing emissions through four channels.

This report was developed as one of the deliverables under the abovementioned project, and is titled “Business Opportunities for South African Companies”. Its purpose is to assess the most attractive business opportunities across the GH2 value chain and formulate market entry recommendations for local enterprises.
This toolkit is about community development for project developers in the green hydrogen sector. Its focus is to provide practical step-by-step advice for community development personnel or managers responsible for community development work in green hydrogen companies.
