Africa-Press – South-Africa. Plans sent to Bloomberg by the Northern Cape Economic Development Agency, which oversees development in the province in which Boegoebaai is located, show the harbour would occupy 2 882 hectares and sit alongside a 1 500-hectare tank-storage area. Green hydrogen production facilities would be built adjacent to the port in a 33 772-hectare special economic zone.

Sasol, South Africa’s biggest company by revenue, has expressed interest in developing green hydrogen production facilities near Boegoebaai.

The rail network would stretch about 800 kilometers inland. Metals such as manganese could also be exported from the port.

Boegoebaai is 60km north of Port Nolloth and close to the border with Namibia.
