On 7–8 April 2025, the Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy will host the much-anticipated 2nd Hydrogen and Fuel Cells Conference at the Southern Sun, Rosebank. This key event will explore the role of green hydrogen technologies in advancing industrialisation in Southern Africa, while addressing the broader global energy transition.
Under the theme “Pathway to Industrialisation”, the conference will bring together industry leaders and researchers to discuss hydrogen’s potential across its entire lifecycle – from production and storage to its application in fuel cells. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in discussions on both the innovations driving renewable energy and the practical challenges that need to be addressed to realise hydrogen’s full potential.
The conference will feature a series of insightful presentations, with keynote addresses from experts within the minerals industry, with the aim of highlighting cutting-edge developments in hydrogen and fuel cell technologies. These sessions will provide a comprehensive overview of the latest advances in the field, ensuring that participants are equipped with valuable knowledge.
The conference will offer a strong focus on practical applications, presenting successful hydrogen initiatives from across the globe, with sessions dedicated to sharing case studies and experiences from industries already implementing hydrogen technologies.
By providing a platform for high-level dialogue, the conference aims to inspire actionable solutions and contribute to advancing the global green energy agenda. It will serve as a crucial meeting point for those involved in renewable energy, clean technology, and industrial innovation.
