President Cyril Ramaphosa delivers keynote address at Africa Green Hydrogen Summit, 15 Sept

President Cyril Ramaphosa will tomorrow, Tuesday, 15 September 2026, virtually deliver the keynote address at the Africa Green Hydrogen Summit (AGHS) 2026, taking place in Cape Town from 15 to 16 September 2026.

The Summit is hosted by the Minister of Electricity and Energy, Dr Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, and will bring together African governments, international investors, civil society, academia and technology experts to explore the continent's potential to become a global leader in the green hydrogen economy.

Green hydrogen presents South Africa and the African continent with an opportunity to play a leading role in the global green hydrogen market, supported by the continent's abundant renewable energy resources, critical mineral endowments and growing industrial demand.

The Summit will provide a platform to mobilise foreign and domestic investment, unlock export opportunities for low-carbon energy, and advance green industrialisation, job creation and regional infrastructure development.

AGHS 2026 will focus on demonstrating tangible progress in project implementation, financing, infrastructure development and industrialisation across the African continent, under the theme: "Moving Africa's Green Hydrogen Sector from PowerPoint to Gigawatts."
