The Energy Industries Council (EIC) recommends that Africa focus on developing local hydrogen infrastructure and realistic offtake opportunities rather than pursuing large-scale green hydrogen megaprojects. Currently, only 17MW of the 38GW of planned clean hydrogen production capacity is operational, with significant investments concentrated in Egypt, Morocco, and South Africa. The push for these initiatives is largely driven by North African countries aiming to export hydrogen to Europe and sub-Saharan efforts targeting markets in Japan and South Korea.
