LoCEL-H2 is developing a new energy solution to be implemented in two remote, off-grid communities in Africa.

Field work is an essential part of LoCEL-H2. Hearing from people living in remote areas allows us to understand better their energy needs and tailor our technology accordingly, while creating a favourable ecosystem to maximise knowledge transfer, capability creation, and social change. 

We want to show you this important part of the development of our project with our new Field Diaries initiative, a series of videos and publications telling you the stories from the field.

In this second issue of our digital mini magazine, read about the research journey in Côte d’Ivoire, one of our pilot locations, where the teams of UNINA (Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II) and RHYDE collaborated to engage with different stakeholders and learn from the community where the energy system will be implemented.
