The Phased Approach Commercial-scale pilot in partnership with leading electrolysis operating company to build necessary capabilities Start research & development (R&D) with a university department Develop right policies & regulations to support local market Define governance and institutional framework Develop funding model. Build export infrastructure Secure supply agreements with export markets
The Benefits Developments in Manufacturing Increase Supply Chain Capabilities Create Jobs Hydrogen use either growing or has potential for growth due its wide range of applications
Possible Areas of Application Transportation Chemicals & Industrial Stationary & Power Generation Plants incl. Integrated/ Hybrid Energy Systems Example: South Africa - case in point targets 10 GW electrolysis capacity, produce about 500 kilotons of hydrogen per annum Creation of 20 000 jobs annually by 2030 & 30 000 by 2040 Dependent on SA s local capacity and creation of more integrated domestic value chain that could reverse current trend and kick- start hydrogen economy
RES Vocations/Professions (Direct/Indirect) Renewable Energy Sources (RES)- create more jobs than fossil fuels they are displacing By 2013, 6.5 million people working directly in renewable energy (RE) sector, globally Technicians - action men of renewable energy world: they work with their hands and with tools and machinery, special equipment and vehicles Depending on national economic development level, possible areas that generate RE vocations/professions: o Technicians - Ensure RE products manufactured to standards, plants assembled to specifications, RE devices installed properly, day-to-day operations, RE facilities maintenance o Technical Designers & Consultants - Technical brains behind RE operations, spot technical opportunities, generate new ideas, solve problems, planning, ensure that new RE developments are sustainable in terms of national needs, economics, environmental laws o Energy Advisors Supporters, knowledge providers to individuals/companies involved in RE o Business Development Executives Strategic brains behind all RE operations
