1 ADVANCED HYDROGEN ENERGY SYSTEMS HENERGY Project Workshop June 2015 GRABOUW BELLVILLE, WESTERN CAPE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA The HENERGY project undertaken within EU FP7 ERAfrica partnership contributes to the thematic field Renewable Energies and aim to join the best efforts of the European and African scientific communities in targeting development of the advanced (integrated with renewable energy sources) high efficiency hydrogen energy systems. The project consortium is represented by six institutions, two European (Norway, Turkey) and two African (South Africa, Egypt) countries. The South African project consortium member (University of the Western Cape, UWC) is represented by HySA Systems metal hydride team hosted by South African Institute for Advanced Materials Chemistry (SAIAMC). The second project workshop summarising the progress of the first year and outlining further plans for year two took place on June in South Africa, as per the project plan.

2 The workshop was opened on June 16, 2015, in Houw Hoek Inn Hotel & Conference Centre, Grabouw, where the participants presented results of their work within the project and discussed further plans of their collaborative R&D activities. On June 18, 2015 the workshop was continued at SAIAMC Innovation Centre, UWC, Bellville, where an overview of hydrogen and fuel cell activities at HySA Systems Competence Centre was presented to the participants followed by a tour on the laboratory and manufacturing facilities at both SAIAMC and its industrial partner. All the participants recognised the workshop as very successful. Special thanks were given to the HySA Systems team, for both significant contribution into the project activities which insured that the two milestones scheduled for the first year were achieved, and, also for the organising this event. The next project workshop will take place in Egypt, in September Workshop Participants 1.
