Hydrogen is a crucial energy carrier for the Clean Energy Sustainable Development Goals and just transition to low/zero-carbon energy. As top CO2-emitting country, hydrogen (especially green hydrogen) production in South Africa has gained momentum due availability of resources, such as solar energy, land, wind platinum group metals (as catalysts electrolysers), water. However, demand insignificant, which implies that majority must be exported. Despite positive developments, there are unclear matters, dependence on national electricity grid cost transporting it Asian European markets. Hence, this study aims explore opportunities economic expansion sustainable production, transportation, storage, utilisation produced Africa. This paper uses thematic literature review methodology. The key findings available renewable sources, incentivizing economy, carbon taxation, increasing could decrease from 3.54 1.40 €/kgH2 thus stimulate its usage, export. appeal lies diversifying products an carrier, clean electricity, synthetic fuels, ammonia methanol, fertilizers, steel with principal purpose significant decarbonisation foreign earnings. These expected drive African revolution agreement AU 2063 agenda.
