About
Founded in 2023, LoCEL-H2 is a ngo headquartered in London, United Kingdom specializing in Solar, Hydrogen, Energy Storage.
LoCEL-H2 is an innovative research and deployment project addressing energy poverty in remote and isolated communities, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. The solution integrates solar energy production, advanced lead battery-based energy storage, and a novel battery-electrolyser system for green hydrogen production. The technology enables both electricity provision and clean cooking fuel, replacing biomass-fuelled stoves to improve health outcomes, particularly for women and children. The project includes pilot programs in Zambia and Côte d'Ivoire, targeting approximately 30 households and businesses initially, with plans for scalable expansion. The consortium comprises research institutions, battery manufacturers, integrators, and social sciences experts across Europe, North Africa, North America, and South Asia. Cloud monitoring systems enable ongoing optimization and reliability enhancement of deployed energy systems.
