Dept continues to drive hydrogen competency building, invites more private collaboration
As part of its Decadal Plan 2022 to 2032 to support the commercialisation of intellectual property (IP) and increase collaboration in the business sector, the Department of Science, Technology and Innovation (DSTI) will soon call for proposals to promote the deployment of large-scale demonstration projects, including in the hydrogen space. During the Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy’s (SAIMM’s) Hydrogen and Fuel Cell conference on April 7, DSTI acting chief director for hydrogen and energy Mandy Mlilo confirmed that government was establishing a platform through an energy secretariat for both private- and public-sector entities to participate in the energy research, development and innovation (RDI) flagship programmes supported by the DSTI.
