What are the goals of LoCEL-H2?

LoCEL-H2 is an innovative project that will create a scalable microgrid system to support two small sub-Saharan communities that currently lack consistent fuel sources for energy and clean cooking.
Through a novel hydrogen solution, LoCEL-H2 will provide a sustainable, affordable, and flexible renewable energy solution and storage for remote communities that cannot currently access an existing, reliable grid infrastructure.

Additionally, LoCEL-H2 will

Monitor the impact of the project’s technologies on the resulting air quality and that effect on the life, health, and status of the women in these communities.

Utilize cloud monitoring (through digital and artificial intelligence) for ongoing enhancements to the energy system’s reliability and operational optimization.

Impact and positively contribute to these communities’ economic growth by creating and implementing an affordable and sustainable model to fit the scalable needs for an integrated microgrid and multi-vector energy storage technology.
