Amplats also involved in partnership.
Anglo American Platinum, BMW AG and Sasol plan to work together to develop infrastructure that will encourage the production and use of hydrogen-powered vehicles in South Africa.
Hydrogen vehicles are struggling to take off because of high costs and a fledgling fueling infrastructure. Two years ago, Sasol, a top emitter of greenhouse gases in South Africa, partnered with Toyota Motor Corp on a pilot project to research the use of the fuel along freight corridors, while Anglo American invested as much as $70 million on a 220-ton hydrogen-fueled vehicle.
BMW is “still trialling” the technology that uses green hydrogen as it gauges the market and will need to see lower costs, Peter van Binsbergen, chief executive officer of BMW Group South Africa, told reporters at a Cape Town conference. A fuel infrastructure would need to follow in order to move toward a bigger rollout, he said.
