This centre marks a significant milestone in advancing South Africa’s green hydrogen economy, contributing to sustainable development, critical skills training, and economic growth within the Vaal Triangle and beyond.
As part of Standard Bank’s commitment to supporting a just energy transition and achieving net zero emissions, the bank has committed funding for this three-year partnership to position VUT at the forefront of research and innovation in hydrogen and alternative energy technologies.
The centre will initially support approximately 10 researchers and students, offering hands-on educational opportunities in green technologies. It will address the critical skills gap in managing, operating, and maintaining hydrogen and alternative energy systems, with potential for future expansion based on the success of the first funding phase.
