GREENPower

In the Philippines, reliability and increasing the energy from renewable sources are some of the advocacies in our continuous effort for energy sustainability and support for environmentally friendly energy technology. In one particular case, preparation for natural calamities such as typhoons and other disasters, energy security and resilient energy supply is very important especially on emergency power needs. Indeed, continuous information and communication during emergency conditions is very crucial, if not lifesaving, and if grid electricity may not be available, an energy support or supply should always be ready. In this situation, hydrogen and fuel cell technologies are an important and deployable energy technologies. These technologies can also be used in local communities that are hard to reach with electricity coming from the grid, such as remote islands. Hence, towards the future of smart energy network, hydrogen and fuel cells are crucial technologies that we need to develop and localized.

In this program, GREEN POWER or Generating Renewable Energy via Electrolysis of water using New Power hybrid system is proposed. The program consists of two major projects which could generate and produce the green power or environmentally friendly and sustainable energy. Project 1 involves hydrogen generation using solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOEC) which will be used as a fuel and in Project 2 for the energy production using polymer exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC).
