UCT students are leading the research on green hydrogen, which is used to make cleaner fuels for cooking and aviation.
Carla Mathyse and Candace Eslick are working on a project called Green-QUEST, which aims to create a green cooking fuel for low-income households in sub-Saharan Africa.The project seeks to use green hydrogen and carbon dioxide to produce a green version of liquefied petroleum gas , which could replace coal, wood and waste as an energy source for domestic households.
On a larger scale, if LFG replaces fossil fuel-based LPG, it could assist in lowering carbon emissions, thereby supporting South Africa’s objective of attaining net-zero emissions by 2050. Germany’s commitment to the Just Energy Transition Partnership , which was announced at COP26 in the UK two years ago, partially funds these projects.
