Stage

Pre-implementation
Overview

The project will provide the first low-cost hydrogen production facility in South Africa. The focus will be on decarbonising natural gas for utilisation in industrial production sectors. By producing low-cost hydrogen, early adopters will save on their fuel bills and ESG emission targets not to mention carbon taxes.
Being a first-mover that will operate and supply hydrogen for mobility from 2025 will crack open the market and allow us to scale our supply to industrial users in South Africa.

Why Investing

1
Cost-Effective Zero-CO2 Hydrogen Production
BurnStar offers a competitive advantage by producing Zero-CO2 Hydrogen from Natural Gas (LNG) at significantly lower costs compared to hydrogen produced from electrolysis. This cost efficiency positions BurnStar as a leader in the hydrogen market, making clean hydrogen more accessible and affordable.
2
Deep Decarbonisation of Challenging Sectors
By converting natural gas into hydrogen and utilising the by-product elemental carbon as fertiliser, BurnStar provides innovative solutions for deep decarbonisation in difficult-to-abate sectors. This approach not only reduces carbon emissions but also adds value by creating useful by-products, contributing to an eco-friendly and circular economy.
3
Strong Government and Industry Support for Hydrogen Integration
There is a substantial push from both government and industry to integrate hydrogen into the economy, driven by the need for sustainable energy solutions. BurnStar is well-positioned to capitalise on this momentum, offering technologies that align with current regulatory goals and industry demands for cleaner energy alternatives
