Clean cooking and Uninteruptable Power for Critical Buildings
9125kWh
Approximate power that we aim to save in a using the MESCH system.
50%
Reduction in carbon emissions hit in our target areas.
200,000
Our target for number of people that we access to clean energy.
HOW MESCH WORKS
Clean Hydrogen Innovation
The MESCH project centres on a containerised hybrid battery-electrolyser system with hydrogen storage. This is an innovative technology under development at Loughborough University.
Collection of solar energy
Solar panels will capture and convert sunlight into renewable electrical energy.
Battery-electrolyser
Electricity will be stored in the battery-electrolysed for use when grid electricity is unavailable.
Generation of clean fuel
Battery-electrolyser will also convert excess electricity into clean hydrogen fuel.
Replacement of diesel and conventional cooking fuels
Hydrogen will be used as a low-cost and clean cooking fuel. The batteries will power the critical building if grid power is interrupted.
