South Africa’s Ramaphosa Urges African Nations to Expand Green Hydrogen at Cape Town Summit

The framing here is political rather than commercial: a sitting head of state positioning green hydrogen as a continental industrial and energy-security play, not just a climate commitment. That matters because African hydrogen projects have generally stalled at the feasibility stage, waiting on offtake and infrastructure that no single government can underwrite alone. Whether this summit produces coordinated cross-border commitments — rather than another round of bilateral announcements — is the open question worth watching.
