Standards, safety and certification

Guidance on safety, quality, and certification pathways so projects align with international practice while meeting local regulatory expectations—from production and storage to transport and offtake.

Data and knowledge resources

Curated data, bibliographies, and knowledge-exchange formats (workshops, webinars, practitioner notes) connecting governments, academia, and industry.

Hub activities

  • Publication of policy briefs, white papers, and research reports
  • Data and insights on African hydrogen projects and markets
  • Knowledge exchange between governments, academia, and industry
