Envision Energy and Sasol have announced a collaboration to study the potential development of a green hydrogen system at Sasol’s operations in Sasolburg, South Africa, Hydrogen Central reported.
The design study will explore how renewable power, energy storage and electrolyser technologies can be combined to support the production of green hydrogen and the development of lower-carbon fuels and chemicals.
The proposed system could support future applications including eMethanol and sustainable aviation fuel (eSAF).
The collaboration was highlighted during a visit by South Africa’s Minister of Electricity and Energy, Dr Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, to Envision’s Chifeng Hydrogen Net Zero Industrial Park in Inner Mongolia. The visit was part of the South Africa-China Energy Investment Conference.
Under the study, Envision will use its expertise in renewable energy, battery energy storage systems, green hydrogen and artificial intelligence-based energy management to assess how the different systems can work together.
The study will examine the integration of renewable power generation, energy storage and electrolyser systems to optimise green hydrogen production based on energy availability, market conditions and operational requirements.
