Hyscape
Who are we?
Hyscape is a deep-tech cleantech startup building next-generation water electrolyzers for the production of green hydrogen. With a strong focus on cost-efficiency, minimal use of precious metals, and scalable design, Hyscape’s electrolyzers aim to power clean energy systems across industries and regions transitioning away from fossil fuels. The product is a set of:
1. PEM and AEM water electrolysis components and stacks for the green hydrogen production.
2. Development of PEMFCs materials, components and stack for the various applications.

Why Africa?
Africa is scaling up its hydrogen ambitions. Green hydrogen demand is rising in key industries (steel, fertilizer, transport), and Hyscape’s cost-competitive electrolysis technology can help address:
-
High hydrogen production costs
-
Decentralized energy challenges
-
Industrial decarbonization gaps
Why Hyscape?
Affordable, modular green hydrogen units tailored for small to mid-scale industrial or research applications, enabling African stakeholders to test, learn, and deploy green hydrogen solutions without major CapEx.
