Overview of innovation

Hydrogen and fuel cell technologies offer zero emissions and are a clean alternative to fossil fuels. HySA Systems, at the University of the Western Cape, have made improvements in the performance, reliability and cost competitiveness of fuel cell components and systems. These have been demonstrated in a number of pilot projects. Products for commercialisation include membrane electrode assemblies, fuel cell stacks, fuel cell systems, solid-state hydrogen storage and compression, and palladium membranes.
