As part of South Africa’s ambition to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels and become a player in the emerging GH2 market, a substantial programme of greenfield infrastructure and development has been proposed in the Northern Cape consisting of three main components: 1. A new breakwater port2 and port precinct 1 km north-west of the landmark called the Buchu or Boegoeberg Twins (hereinafter referred to as “Boegoebaai”). 2. A mixed-use Special Economic Zone3 (SEZ) located adjacent to the proposed Boegoebaai port. 3. A network of regional renewable energy generation facilities (wind and solar PV), electrical grid infrastructure, roads, pipelines and other GH2 support infrastructure.FulltextenStrategic Environmental AssessmentSEABoegoebaai PortNamaqualandGreen HydrogenBookn/a
