Synthesis Report - December 2022 - The South African Green Hydrogen TVET Ecosystem Just Transition

5 Dec 2022

Synthesis Report December 2022 The South African Green Hydrogen TVET Ecosystem Just Transition Strategic Framework Foreword The launch of the South African Green Hydrogen TVET Ecosystem Just Transition Strategic Framework occurs amid five major challenges: ∙ The geopolitical energy turmoil in the face of climate change; ∙ the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the economy and TVE. [...] 2 THE SOUTH AFRICAN GREEN HYDROGEN TVET ECOSYSTEM JUST TRANSITION STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK The South African Green Hydrogen TVET Ecosystem Just Transition Strategic Framework is one of the government’s key enablers to the successful implementation of the ERRP and provides the foundation for thinking about anticipatory policy interventions to reconstruct and transform the TVET skills development ecosyst. [...] These include the generation, beneficiation, transport (road, rail, pipeline) and storage of hydrogen, the manufacturing of hydrogen-related products such as fuel cells and electrolysers, the beneficiation of minerals through the supply of value-added components in the hydrogen value chain, and the export of green hydrogen. [...] In assessing the TVET skills requirements for the GHE, it is also important to consider the ability of the public TVET college system to provide the types of low, intermediate and high level skills required by the sector. [...] The DHET and the TVET college system have a strong record of using similar forecasting methods.62 While there is definite value in this kind of forecasting, the dynamic nature of the environment – whether the pace of technological development, changes in the labour market and the world of work, or geopolitical shifts – is increasing levels of complexity and uncertainty.
