The dtic is advocating for a new Hydrogen Industrial Hub model for Special Economic Zones to boost green hydrogen production and manufacturing. This policy shift could unlock significant investment and create new tender opportunities in infrastructure, construction, and renewable energy sectors, though it is still at the proposal stage.
This could lead to new infrastructure projects and procurement opportunities in SEZs, affecting suppliers in construction, energy, and logistics.
The dtic proposed a policy shift for SEZs to adopt a Hydrogen Industrial Hub model, focusing on green hydrogen value chains.
This policy direction could reshape SEZ development across South Africa, potentially attracting more private investment and creating a ripple effect in the broader procurement industry, with increased demand for specialized services and infrastructure.
Suppliers in construction, engineering, renewable energy, and logistics should monitor SEZ developments and prepare for tenders related to hydrogen infrastructure, industrial clustering, and associated value chains.
Bidders must ensure compliance with SEZ regulations and any new incentive frameworks, while also meeting localisation requirements that may be introduced.
