Green Hydrogen Revolution in the Philippines
Key Ideas
  • Hydrogène de France and partner-firms plan to invest $1.5 billion in green hydrogen solutions across 15 project sites in the Philippines, particularly in Mindanao.
  • The deployment of green hydrogen infrastructure is aimed at decarbonizing energy systems and reducing dependency on fossil fuels in off-grid areas.
  • A memorandum of understanding was signed between HDF, the Department of Energy, and Mindanao Development Authority to drive research and development initiatives for green technology solutions.
  • The agreement signifies a significant step towards a sustainable and resilient energy future, with support from local and national stakeholders.
Hydrogène de France (HDF Energy) and its partner-firms are set to invest $1.5 billion in the deployment of green hydrogen solutions in the Philippines, with a focus on Mindanao. The projects aim to address the heavy reliance on diesel-fired generating facilities in physically isolated areas. The company plans to roll out ten projects in Mindanao and is seeking strong support from stakeholders to accelerate the technology deployment. The use of green hydrogen, produced through electrolyzing water and renewable energy sources, is seen as a key solution to decarbonizing energy systems. HDF will leverage Renewstable® technology for multiple green hydrogen power plants, particularly in off-grid regions. This initiative includes collaboration with Reurasia to advance renewable energy solutions in Southeast Asia. The signing of a memorandum of understanding with the Department of Energy and Mindanao Development Authority marks a crucial partnership for research and development in green technology solutions. This move is praised by Energy Secretary Raphael P.M. Lotilla as a significant milestone towards a sustainable energy future. The French firm, HDF Energy, emphasizes the ability of green hydrogen and renewable energy to provide clean, non-intermittent power by combining renewable sources with energy storage. The collaboration aims to foster investments in hydrogen-based solutions and promote sustainable energy technologies in the Philippines. The support from the French government and the commitment to green technologies signal a positive shift towards a more environmentally friendly and cost-effective energy landscape.
