SA Liquid Fuels Risks and Opportunities in JET
Loading player...
While we are all focussing on Stage 6 loadshedding and the coal part of the just transition, the future of the liquid fuels value chain is currently also in a state of rapid flux.
At its heart is the automotive sector and the changes we are seeing globally to the humble internal combustion engine shifting to the electric drive train. This is set to have profound impacts on the value chain and the South African economy.
A just transition of the liquid fuels value chain to a low- and zero-carbon value chain presents opportunities for South Africa, but also holds risks in terms of timing and the impact of the transition on workers and employment.
These were some of the impacts discussed by researchers, industry practitioners and experts during a virtual event hosted by economic research institution Trade and Industrial Policy Strategies (TIPS) recently.
To talk about this Michael Avery is joined by Gaylor Montmasson-Clair, Senior Economist, TIPS; Shamini Harrington, Vice-President: Climate Change, Sasol and Presidential Climate Commissioner & Rod Crompton, Adjunct Professor & Director, Wits Business School, African Energy Leadership Centre
