South Africa is tailor-made for the generation of electrons from renewable sun and wind endowments and the linked production of green molecules using renewable solar and wind power. Available to work in conjunction with the storage of green electrons is the opportunity to store green molecules for indefinite periods of time.
The combined effect is not only an energy solution but the only genuinely clean energy solution that saves the planet from destructive climate change. In addition, all this comes with the colossal economic advantage of not having to import petrol and diesel but opening the way for the competitive export of the green molecules needed by the developed parts of the world.
Global calculations point to the green electron and green molecule business being a generational opportunity that needs to be seized.
