The Department of Energy (DOE) has inked a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Japanese firm Hydrogen Technology Inc. (HTI) on targets to deploy hydrogen applications for power generation.
With this new pact firmed up with Tokyo-based HTI, Energy Secretary Alfonso G. Cusi stated that the Philippines would be able “to fast-track its research and development (R&D) activities for hydrogen.”
This is already the second agreement that the energy department has inked with foreign entities – the first one was with an Australian firm Star Scientific Ltd.– both in the intent of exploring hydrogen as technology alternative in meeting the country’s energy needs.
