The Renewable Energy Transition – is Green Hydrogen a Viable Solution for ASEAN countries?
SINGAPORE, April 29, 2020 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/--

While renewables like hydro, solar and wind power are widely known, an energy 
source gaining momentum as a highly versatile energy source of tomorrow is 
hydrogen, particularly green hydrogen. Toshiba shares how countries like 
Singapore, Indonesia and Philippines are looking at hydrogen as a potential 
clean energy solution, and how the use of H2One(TM), its Hydrogen-based 
Autonomous Energy Supply System, can help contribute to a greener energy future.

By building partnerships between governments, organizations and infrastructure 
suppliers, green hydrogen not only has the potential to support the transition 
towards a decarbonized energy system met out by government policies and climate 
agreements, but also finds valuable applications in disaster relief, mobility 
devices, off-grid and mobile solutions.

Green hydrogen uses renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and water to 
electrolyze hydrogen from water, and stores and uses the hydrogen in fuel cells 
to provide a stable delivery of CO2-free, environmentally-friendly electricity 
and hot water.

In 2019, SP Group, a leading energy utilities group in the Asia Pacific, 
successfully established the first zero-emission building in Singapore and 
Southeast Asia that is powered by green hydrogen. The technology was supplied 
by Toshiba's H2One(TM), a Hydrogen-based Autonomous Energy Supply System that 
can produce hydrogen, which can be stored for later use with Fuel Cell 
technology.

Neighboring countries like Indonesia and Philippines are also exploring green 
hydrogen to supply stable and low-cost energy for its many islands. In 2018, 
having concluded memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the National 
Electrification Administration, a government organization of the Philippines, 
and the Badan Pengkajian dan Penerapan Teknologi (BPPT), an Indonesian 
government organization, Toshiba is currently working to assess and implement 
H2One(TM) off-grid system as a fuel for power generation in the near future.

Widespread implementation of green hydrogen will be accelerated with the 
advancement of safety, infrastructure and cost efficiencies. By increasing 
technical advances in hydrogen, the cost of producing, distributing and 
manufacturing will become more affordable.

While Toshiba is advancing technologies in hydrogen, we continue to improve 
efficiencies of all our energy solutions to realize a low carbon society and 
stable global power supply by providing the world's most efficient power 
generation systems.
