The green hydrogen knowledge platform will host a series of discussions on various aspects of the green hydrogen economy and the Eastern Cape context. Some will be online and some hybrid. The first online session took place on 26 April 2024 on ‘Green Hydrogen in the context of the Eastern Cape: setting the scene’. We will post some material from the session here shortly.
