One of the spin-off companies that UCT has invested in is Hydrogen Energy Applications (HYENA), which is focused on solving the global challenge of clean, reliable off-grid power. HYENA has developed a modular hydrogen fuel cell platform that generates clean, off-grid electricity using LPG, biogas or natural gas – with no hydrogen supply chain required.  This power pod technology generates reliable power wherever it is needed.

Partnering for Impact  

UCT invites companies and donors to contribute to growing the Evergreen Seed Fund. Donors can take pride in the difference their contribution will make and be assured that all returns from investments made will be retained by the Fund to invest in further projects. Supporting this initiative, contributors have an opportunity to be an integral part of Innovation and by creating start-up companies and employment opportunities for UCT staff and students. A donation to support the Evergreen Seed Fund would be provided with a tax-deductible donation certificate.
