PIC adopts hydrogen investment strategy

The Public Investment Corporation (PIC) has adopted a hydrogen investment strategy aimed at unlocking value through funding and the provision of early-stage capital for the development of the hydrogen value chain.

Sekgoela Sekgoela, a Senior Investor Relations Specialist at the PIC, on Monday said the strategy further seeks to leverage on more than 200 hydrogen projects that have been announced worldwide and the more than $250 billion (approximately R4.3 trillion) required for the development of a hydrogen economy in South Africa. 

“The South African government, through its Hydrogen Roadmap, has identified hydrogen as a possible investment avenue. Hydrogen promises to be the next frontier in clean energy technology due to its extensive value chain applications.

“It can be used to industrialise and create a resultant hydrogen economy. Other benefits include job creation and localised manufacturing, and the potential of turning the country into one of the largest exporters of green hydrogen in the world,” said Sekgoela.

Moreover, he said, South Africa has significant renewable energy potential, given its high solar radiation levels, as well as a large area of coastline for wind deployment.

“Hydrogen can augment renewable energy production by offering a relatively affordable way to store and transport the excess energy produced from these sources. South Africa also hosts the world’s largest Platinum Group Metals resources, which benefit significantly from increased demand that could arise from a well-developed hydrogen sector,” Sekgoela said.

The adoption of the strategy comes at a time when several countries around the world are increasingly considering making use of hydrogen as a potential clean energy source.

The Hydrogen Roadmap has identified the PIC as a potential co-investor with other finance institutions in hydrogen projects. The roadmap is one of government’s strategies and policy direction aimed at bringing together a variety of public and private stakeholders and institutions around a common vision on how to use and deploy hydrogen and hydrogen-related technologies, as part of the country’s economic development and greening objectives.

Feasibility study on implementing solar panels in hospitals

The Department of Health is working with the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) to conduct a feasibility study on the rollout of solar panels in critical areas in health facilities.

According to a statement released by the department on Monday, the move is part of the energy mix to mitigate the impact of load shedding and overstraining backup generators in hospitals.

This comes after the Health Minister, Dr Joe Phaahla, announced government’s plan to shield public health facilities from the devastating power outages.

“The Department of Health is on the right track with efforts to ensure the priority hospitals are excluded from load shedding as part of plans to minimise the disruptions on the provision of essential health services during power outages,” the statement read.

The department and Eskom have since implemented the long-awaited exemption of North West hospitals, which include Taung Hospital and Ganyesa Hospital, pushing the total number of exempted health institutions from 72 to 77.

“This is a work in progress, and the inclusion of North West hospitals is part of the commitment made by Minister of Health, Dr Joe Phaahla that no province will be left behind,” the department said.

“Although, due to technical challenges, some health facilities will take time to be exempted.”

The department said it will keep the public abreast of the progress made regarding hospital exclusions around the country.

KlasJet adds Boeing 737 BBJ2 to its exclusive fleet

The Boeing 737 BBJ2 is a splendid addition to KlasJet’s exclusive private aircraft fleet as it is set to cater to the specific needs of high-ranking clients travelling in smaller groups.

LONDRES, Nov. 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Em 2021, o mercado mundial de jatos comerciais era de US$ 25,87 bilhões e deverá atingir US$ 38,34 bilhões até 2029, crescendo a uma CAGR de 4,06 %. Os jatos comerciais realizaram 3,3 milhões de voos em todo o mundo em 2021, o maior número registrado em um único ano, e 7% a mais do que o recorde anterior em 2019. As estatísticas de jatos privados indicam uma frota global de 21.929 aeronaves registradas.

Para expandir o portfólio de produtos da KlasJet, um charter corporativo baseado na UE e prestador de serviços ACMI (avião, tripulação, manutenção, seguro) está acrescentando o jato Boeing BBJ2, MSN 32971, à sua frota. A aeronave deverá iniciar suas operações em meados de abril de 2023 e sua base será em Dubai. O agente de vendas geral desta aeronave será o escritório da Chapman Freeborn nos EAU em Dubai.

O Boeing 737 BBJ2 é mais uma excelente aquisição da frota exclusiva de aeronaves privadas da KlasJet, pois está preparado para atender às necessidades específicas dos clientes de alto poder aquisitivo que viajam em grupos menores. “Enquanto nossas outras aeronaves Boeing 737 VIP com 56-68 assentos são ótimas para grupos maiores, tais como equipes esportivas, delegações de executivos e políticos, o B737 BBJ2 servirá como uma opção incrível para famílias abastadas, representantes do governo, presidentes, famílias reais e importantes delegações de executivos. Atualmente, a aeronave está no centro de acabamento JetMS Completion do Avia Solutions Group, onde o interior do jato será totalmente renovado”, explica Rita Domkute, CEO da KlasJet.

O avião de 23 lugares é um projeto verdadeiramente requintado, com uma espaçosa área lounge, quarto a bordo e chuveiro. “O jato é projetado para atender até mesmo as necessidades mais sofisticadas de nossos clientes.
