Technology development, certification and capacity building for the international market ramp-up of green hydrogen and its derivatives in the SADC region using the example of the HyShiFT project in South Africa
South Africa could play an important role as a reliable producer of green hydrogen - also as a supplier for Germany - in the coming years. However, there are currently challenges in storing and distributing the raw material. This is where the recently launched Fraunhofer joint project "HySecunda", in which nine Fraunhofer Institutes and the Fraunhofer Academy are cooperating, comes in. The project aims to find optimized solutions for the production, storage and certification of green hydrogen. The consortium also supports capacity building in the region and current projects on hydrogen-based fuels for aviation. Read more.
