Ukuthuthukisa ukukhiqizwa kwe-hydrogen evuselelekayo e-Afrika kuzovumela amazwe ase-Afrika ukuthi ahlangabezane nezidingo zikagesi wasekhaya kuyilapho eba ngumdayisi omkhulu wamazwe ngamazwe ukuhlinzeka ngesidingo esikhulayo somhlaba wonke, ngokombiko omusha okhishwe uMkhandlu weHydrogen.
UMkhandlu We-Hydrogen uwuhlelo oluholwa yi-CEO yomhlaba wonke oluhlanganisa izinkampani eziholayo ezinombono obumbene kanye nesifiso se-hydrogen ukusheshisa ukushintshwa kwamandla ahlanzekile.
The Ithuba le-Hydrogen yase-Afrika, ebhalwe ngokuhlanganyela yi-McKinsey & Company, igqamisa ukuthi i-Afrika isesimweni esihle kakhulu sokukhiqiza i-hydrogen evuselelekayo nokuphuma kokunye ngenxa yemithombo yayo esezingeni lomhlaba yelanga, umoya, i-geothermal kanye ne-hydropower.
Ukukhiqizwa kwe-hydrogen evuselelekayo ngendlela engabizi kakhulu kungase kusheshise ukuthunyelwa kwamandla avuselelekayo ukuze asetshenziswe ekhaya kulo lonke izwekazi elisekela ukuthuthukiswa kwezimboni kanye noguquko olufanele. Ngaso leso sikhathi, ukukhuphula izimboni zokuthekelisa i-hydrogen evuselelekayo emazweni ase-Afrika kungase kubambe ingxenye enkulu yemakethe yomhlaba wonke elindelekile, kugqugquzele ukutshalwa kwezimali okunqwabelanayo kwezigidigidi ezingama-400 zamaRandi.
Imboni ye-hydrogen ingadala amathuba emisebenzi ayizigidi ezingu-13 emazweni ase-Afrika maphakathi nekhulunyaka, ngokusho kombiko. ENingizimu Afrika kuphela, umnotho we-hydrogen ungase wengeze u-3.6% ku-GDP yaseNingizimu Afrika ngowezi-2050 futhi udale amathuba emisebenzi angaphezu kuka-370,000, njengoba kugqanyiswe uMnyango Wezesayensi Nokusungula Kabusha waseNingizimu Afrika emhlanganweni wakamuva woMkhandlu We-Hydrogen eGoli. Abaholi be-hydrogen bomhlaba kanye nabathatha izinqumo esifundeni bahlangana ukuze bathuthukise izixazululo zokusheshisa umnotho we-hydrogen esifundeni.
Kodwa-ke, lo mbiko uthola izindleko eziphezulu zezimali ezihambisana nengqalasizinda kanye nokutholakala kwabasebenzi abanamakhono kuyisithiyo njengamanje e-Afrika uma kuqhathaniswa nezinye izifunda, okwenza izindleko zokukhiqiza i-hydrogen ezilindelekile emazweni ase-Afrika zibe phezulu kunalawo aseMpumalanga Ephakathi nase-Australia. Ababambiqhaza bangacabanga ukuthatha isinyathelo esisodwa noma eziningi kweziningana ukunciphisa izindleko zokuxhasa ngezimali, okuholela ekwandeni kwamathuba okuphumelela kwephrojekthi.
Ukuvula amandla e-Afrika avuselelekayo e-hydrogen kuzodinga imizamo ehlelekile kuzo zonke izikhungo zikahulumeni nezizimele. Ngokusebenzisana ukuze sakhe uhlaka olusekelayo lwezomnotho nomthetho olusiza ukunciphisa ubungozi futhi lunike amandla utshalomali, singakwazi ukubona izinzuzo zezomnotho kuyilapho sisheshisa ukushintshwa kwamandla emhlabeni wonke.

Ukuthuthukisa umnotho we-hydrogen kuyithuba loguquko olunobulungiswa e-Afrika oluqinisekisa ukuthi akekho osalayo - oluqhubekisela phambili ukukhula komnotho okusimeme, oludala izigidi zemisebenzi emisha, olukhuphula ukutholakala kwamandla ahlanzekile athengekayo. Ngokutshalwa kwezimali okufanele kanye nokusebenzisana komphakathi nezinkampani ezizimele, amazwe ase-Afrika angakwazi ukusebenzisa izinsiza zawo ezivuselelekayo ezisezingeni lomhlaba ukuze ahlangabezane nezidingo zasekhaya futhi abe abadayisi bangaphandle, konke ngesikhathi eqinisekisa ukuthi imiphakathi ibona izinzuzo ngokuthuthukiswa kwabasebenzi, izimboni ezinenzuzo kanye nokuvikeleka kwamandla.
