'SADC countries like Namibia have positioned themselves as green hydrogen hubs, with big projects currently underway' - Malawian Energy and Development Economist, Dr Themba Nyasulu calls for green hydrogen as solution to Africa's energy crisis

On the Discourse this morning, we Zoom in on the feasibility of green hydrogen as conflict in the Middle East continues to disrupt global energy markets. In response, countries across Southern Africa are once again confronting the dangers of heavy dependence on imported fossil fuels, with the war . The ongoing war pushing oil and gas prices higher, straining supply chains, and renewing concerns over energy security across the globe. Analysts warn that African economies ,  many of them already grappling with electricity shortages, rising fuel costs, and fragile infrastructure, are particularly vulnerable to these external shocks. Against this backdrop, attention is increasingly turning toward renewable energy solutions and, in particular, green hydrogen - seen by many as a potential game changer for the Southern African Development Community, or SADC. To unpack whether green hydrogen can realistically help SADC countries reduce their energy vulnerabilities and build resilience in an increasingly unstable global energy environment, Peter Ndoro spoke to Dr Themba Nyasulu, a Malawian Energy and Development Economist.
