Rebecca Maserumule

Rebecca Maserumule is a South African official associated with the Department of Electricity and Energy. She has been involved in policy and programme development related to the country's energy transition and renewable energy initiatives. Her work focuses on advancing South Africa's decarbonisation agenda and supporting the deployment of emerging technologies in the energy sector. Maserumule has participated in international engagements on green hydrogen and Power-to-X technologies, which are seen as critical pathways for reducing carbon emissions and leveraging South Africa's renewable energy potential. She has represented the department at forums addressing the role of green hydrogen in industrial decarbonisation and the integration of renewable energy into the national grid. Her portfolio includes collaboration with multilateral organisations and development finance institutions on energy transition projects. Maserumule's involvement reflects the South African government's efforts to position the country as a hub for green hydrogen production, particularly given its abundant solar and wind resources and its reserves of platinum-group metals used in electrolysers. She has engaged with regional partners including Lesotho and Eswatini on cross-border energy and industrial development initiatives. Her work contributes to the broader policy framework guiding South Africa's shift towards a low-carbon economy and the implementation of the country's energy transition strategy.
