LPG-to-Hydrogen Reforming

A process that converts liquefied petroleum gas into hydrogen-rich gas suitable for feeding into fuel cells, implemented within HYENA’s POWER POD to leverage existing LPG supply chains.[2][4][5]

HYENA POWER POD

A modular, containerized power unit that integrates an LPG-fed hydrogen generator with a fuel cell to provide small to medium-scale (diesel-generator-replacement) electricity for off-grid and unreliable-grid sites, particularly in Africa.[1][2][3][5][6]

Hydrogen fuel cell power system

A containerized system that generates electricity and heat using hydrogen fuel cells, designed as a zero-emission alternative to diesel generators for off-grid applications.

HYENA POWER POD: Turning LPG into Clean Off-Grid Power in Africa

5 months 23 days ago

The University of Cape Town’s Catalysis Institute has profiled HYENA and its POWER POD, describing it as a diesel-generator replacement technology that generates hydrogen and electricity on-site where hydrogen distribution is lacking.[1] The Institute’s coverage situates HYENA within South Africa’s broader efforts to c
