Atlanthia Showcasing Green Hydrogen Project at Green Energy Africa Summit 2022

Energy Investment Village gives real opportunities to start-ups

Atlanthia is developing an economically viable green hydrogen project at-scale in the Western Cape

CAPE TOWN, South Africa, September 26, 2022/APO Group/ --

The Green Energy Africa Summit (GEAS) will give start-up companies an opportunity to connect with industry leaders and government officials through its Energy Investment Village, which features a selection of the most compelling local clean-tech projects. The companies will have the chance to pitch to energy leaders holding potential investments worth more than $100 billion.

The Energy Investment Village is a partnership with the Saldanha Bay Innovation Campus (SBIC), an initiative of Freeport Saldanha, and advisory firm the Research Institute for Innovation and Sustainability (RIIS).

One of the companies chosen for this incredible opportunity this year is Energy Investment Village finalist, Atlanthia (Pty) Ltd. The company focuses on technologies that convert hydrogen into electricity. The oil industry is looking for solutions to meet the standards of green energy mandates. Atlanthia (Pty) Ltd is offering its own solution during Africa Oil Week 2022.

Africa could supply the whole world with affordable low-carbon energy in the form of hydrogen, according to experts following the green energy trend. About 600 million people or 43% of Africa’s population currently don’t have access to electricity. Companies such as Atlanthia are focused on creating green energy via hydrogen. When hydrogen is used as a fuel, the only waste element it produces is water. The element is not only found in water but in fossil fuels as well confirms experts at Atlanthia.

While attending the conference Atlanthia will be sharing their hydrogen project. Fergus Feltman, CEO of Atlanthia (Pty) Ltd states, “Atlanthia has completed its pre-feasibility study. It has and continues to engage with key, prospective technology and strategic partners, off-takers locally & internationally, financing partners and various stakeholders key to unlocking the opportunity.”

This project is expected to catch the attention of those who are seeking the future of green energy solutions. Feltman continues, “Atlanthia is developing an economically viable green hydrogen project at-scale in the Western Cape. We are excited to engage motivated investors, to unlock this compelling opportunity.”

According to the IEA (The International Energy Agency) Africa’s abundant solar and wind energy could make it a global hub for producing low-carbon hydrogen. Atlanthia (Pty) Ltd expects to assist in this initiative starting with their green hydrogen project.
