University of the Western Cape

A research initiative to develop and test a hydrogen fuel cell system installed in a golf cart at the University of the Western Cape, evaluating fuel cells as a viable alternative to battery-powered campus transportation.

A golf cart equipped with a hydrogen fuel cell energy system, developed as a demonstration of fuel cell viability for clean campus transportation. The system has proven to be an adequate replacement for lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries.

A technology that combines hydrogen and oxygen in a clean, electrochemical process to generate power, releasing only water vapor as a byproduct.

Traditional battery technology previously used in golf carts at the University of the Western Cape, now being replaced by fuel cell systems.

A hybrid lithium-ion battery buffer is used to smooth power fluctuations and handle peak loads in conjunction with the hydrogen fuel cell.
