GIZ PtX and greener reefer projects in South Africa

Abstract

The International Power-to-X Hub is a centre of expertise and collaboration for innovative and sustainable green hydrogen and Power-to-X value chains. To reach net zero and the Paris targets, we need to defossilise our economies and societies. However, defossilisation cannot be achieved by electrification alone. Green molecules produced with Power-to-X enable hard-to-abate sectors in industry and transport, for example shipping, to move towards climate neutrality. Together with our partners, we identify Power-to-X solutions that are adapted to the specifics of each country and lead to sustainable economic transformation. The PtX Hub builds and fosters strong networks with industry, academia, administrations, and civil society with hubs in Africa, Asia, Europe, and Latin America. Building on its commitment to capacity building, the PtX Hub last year supported the future green maritime training series, bringing together decision-makers from 10 South African Departments and Authorities.
