Africa is the world's fastest urbanising continent. In 1950, sub-Saharan Africa had no cities with populations of more than 1m. Today, it has around 50. By 2030, over half of the continent's population will live in cities, up from around a third now. The fastest growing metropolises, such as Nairobi, Kenya's capital, are expanding at rates of more than 4% per year. That is almost twice as fast as Houston, America's fastest-growing metropolis.

Note that low-cost hydrogen relies on the availability of low-cost electricity. So there needs to be a good reason not to use electricity directly. This reason could be a need for a reduction agent, or a preference for combustion technologies. In any case, it will be a reverse world - gas more expensive than electricity.
