President Cyril Ramaphosa on Thursday encouraged local companies to embrace green energy if they do not want to get left behind.

“If you do not embrace green energy, if you do not respond to the climate change process that is under way, that is developing in the world, then you will get left behind,” he said.

“I am pleased that our infrastructure developments are now going ahead of this curve and embracing the climate change narrative and debate and making sure that it is a part of what we are doing. This, he said, pointed to a future where tens of gigawatts of renewable energy fed electrolysers on a huge scale, producing the hydrogen power fuels of the future.

Ramaphosa said another critical area is the development and management of the country’s water infrastructure. “Water is our most valuable natural resource. It is necessary to sustain life, to grow food, to maintain human health, and to enable the growth of our economy.”
