Project Showcase Session - Enertrag, Hyphen, SSC Energy, ESE, NC H2 & H2Global

JHB Hydrogen Indaba 2024 Featuring: Bernard Swanepoel, Chairman In this project showcase session, five pioneering developers present the tangible reality of green hydrogen projects in Southern Africa and Europe. From a multi-billion dollar integrated project in Namibia to a community-focused initiative in Jeffreys Bay, the session explores project bankability, scale, and the future of energy. Discover the Hyphen Project’s vertically integrated design for green ammonia export, SSC Energy’s wind-to-hydrogen project with local benefits, and Italy’s ESE’s phased approach to building a hydrogen town. The session concludes with the Northern Cape’s industrial vision and the H2Global mechanism designed to derisk investment through long-term off-take guarantees.

Smaller projects like SSC Energy’s 225MW are viable but serve as crucial first steps and localised models. Cost of Capital Trumps Resource: Enertrag’s modelling reveals that while Africa has world-class renewable resources, the key differentiator for project viability is the cost of capital. This underscores the need for derisking instruments like H2Global’s long-term off-take guarantees to make projects bankable. Phased Development is Key: Projects are not being built overnight. Hyphen is developing in two phases, ESE has a three-step plan for its "hydrogen town," and the Northern Cape outlines a phased approach from 1GW to 40GW. This allows for learning, technological adaptation, and market development. Infrastructure as a Catalyst: Common-user infrastructure is central to both Hyphen (pipeline corridors for future developers) and the Northern Cape (a green port and pipeline backbone). This shared infrastructure lowers the barrier to entry for subsequent projects and creates economies of scale. Local Benefit is Integral: All projects emphasize socio-economic development. Hyphen targets 90% local employment and water supply to Lüderitz. SSC Energy will provide 50% of its desalinated water to the local municipality. The Northern Cape frames its entire plan as part of South Africa’s Just Energy Transition. H2Global Offers a Path to Bankability: By providing long-term (10-year) off-take contracts through a government-backed intermediary, H2Global directly addresses the "chicken and egg" problem. Its expansion to include multiple governments and the European Hydrogen Bank signals growing demand certainty for producers in Africa and beyond.
