Many communities in developing regions suffer disproportionately from energy poverty and the effects of climate change. Females in these communities face additional threats, including exposure to harmful cooking emissions. LoCEL-H2 will address underlying causes of these issues by providing renewable, cost-effective, plug-n-play, and sustainable provision of electrical energy and accessto clean fuels. Our integrated prosumer renewable energy solution will be developed in harmony with local communities’ needs; our SSH team will evaluate critical socioeconomic factors for use in system development and future rollout. It is our ambition to provide operational training for deployment communities and future local partners. LoCEL-H2 features three impressive technical innovations: 1) a unique, low cost, hydrogen-based energy solution, the Battolyser, 2) a novel battery technology, with high performance and excellent circularity, 3) a decentralized, peer-to-peer, prosumer microgrid designed holistically to facilitate sustainable rollout. Following system-level integration & validation (via a virtual pilot and a pre-pilot in Asia at TRL-7), the LoCEL-H2 team will deploy two full-scale TRL-8 pilots in Africa (Côte d'Ivoire and Zambia), including physical, digital, and social tools, achieving TRL-8 by the end of the current project. Our team’s existing commercial networks—Asian and African—will enable the further post-project commercial rollout of LoCEL-H2, boosting European export potential in sustainable energy solutions.

发展中地区的许多社区不成比例地遭受能源贫困和气候变化的影响。这些社区的女性面临着额外的威胁，包括接触有害的烹饪排放物。LoCEL-H2将通过提供可再生、经济高效、即插即用和可持续的电力供应和清洁燃料来解决这些问题的根本原因。我们的产消一体化可再生能源解决方案将与当地社区的需求相协调；我们的SSH团队将评估关键的社会经济因素，以用于系统开发和未来的推出。我们的目标是为部署社区和未来的当地合作伙伴提供业务培训。LoCEL-H2有三个令人印象深刻的技术创新：1)一种独特的、低成本的氢基能源解决方案，Battolyser; 2)一种新型电池技术，具有高性能和卓越的循环性；3)一个分散的、点对点的、产消微电网，整体设计促进可持续发展。在系统级集成和验证（通过亚洲TRL-7的虚拟试点和预试点）之后，LoCEL-H2团队将在非洲（Côte科特迪瓦和赞比亚）部署两个全面的TRL-8试点，包括物理、数字和社交工具，在当前项目结束前实现TRL-8。我们团队现有的亚洲和非洲商业网络将使LoCEL-H2在项目后进一步商业化推广，提高欧洲在可持续能源解决方案方面的出口潜力。
