SATREPS projects aiding progression to green economy

Hydrogen and fuel cells solutions Center of Competence (CoC) HySA Infrastructure, at North-West University (NWU) and the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, is making a concerted effort to help South Africa and Africa transition towards a green economy by championing developments in water electrolysis for hydrogen production and storage, in addition to exploring the use of ammonium as a carrier for green hydrogen, particularly for long-distance transportation and storage. HySA Infrastructure CoC director Professor Dmitri Bessarabov highlights the importance of HySA’s most recent hydrogen and ammonium production projects, under the Science and Technology Research Partnership for Sustainable Development (SATREPS), aimed at facilitating hydrogen and ammonium production, storage and transport initiatives.
