Technology for societal change
The intertwined expertise of our partners in technological and social sciences is an asset of the LoCEL-H2 project. This collaboration not only ensures the responsible deployment of the LoCEL-H2 technology but also fosters the creation of an energy solution that aligns with human values, ultimately contributing to a more inclusive, ethically grounded, and sustainable future.
The three technological innovation pillars of LoCEL-H2
Scalable, decentralised, plug & play prosumer microgrid with 100% renewable solar energy production that will provide electricity for two communities in Africa
Optimised advanced lead battery energy storage system for households, small businesses and community buildings
Novel community-shared battery-electrolyser for multi-vector energy storage and green hydrogen production for cooking
Innovative pathways for community empowerment
LoCEL-H2 involves appropriate socio-cultural analysis to implement energy innovation, improving the socio-economic conditions of vulnerable communities through access to clean electricity and fuel. The methodological approach focuses on creating and supporting ecosystems of actors in each of the pilot areas to maximise knowledge transfer, capability creation, and social change, as well as developing monitoring tools, activities and training.
