The Scramble for Green Hydrogen in South Africa

Synopsis

South African communities are struggling with water scarcity and environmental crises. Add Europe’s scramble for green hydrogen, and you have a neo-colonial rush for resources — corporations profit while local communities pay the price. We see the hidden costs of “clean” development and question what a just transition should look like.
