# The Department of Science, Technology and Innovation will call for proposals to deploy large-scale hydrogen projects, as part of its Decadal Plan to 2032. Speaking at the second Hydrogen and Fuel Cell conference, acting chief director Mandy Mlilo said the government aims to support public-private research and development collaboration. Mlilo says over 1.4-billion-rand already invested in Hydrogen South Africa. She emphasised that the focus is now on commercialising locally-developed intellectual property, building skills, and reducing hydrogen production costs for a greener economy.
