ENGIE EPS' Hydrogen Technology Records a New Achievement in Singapore

• ENGIE EPS contributes to Southeast Asia's transition towards an environment-friendly economy with a hydrogen-based power storage space system on Semakau Island

ENGIE EPS (Paris: EPS) announces to have successfully completed the Site Acceptance Test of the hydrogen-based energy storage system on Semakau Landfill, Singapore.

The Semakau project has actually been created in a multifluid microgrid under the framework of the program Renewable Energy Integration Demonstrator-- Singapore (REIDS-SPORE) by ENGIE Lab Singapore and also Nanyang Technological University (NTU) being composed in the largest hybrid microgrid examination as well as study system integrated in a tropical area.

"The power storage space system installed in Semakau is just the current successful application of ENGIE EPS' hydrogen proprietary technology. This represents another example of the huge potential of our options, which after 15 years of experience in hydrogen systems can be used around the globe, likewise in a tropical atmosphere" commented Carlalberto Guglielminotti, ENGIE EPS' CEO and also General Manager, "We are proud to contribute with our copyrighted hydrogen-based innovation to the REIDS project, accelerating the shift in the direction of a green economic situation throughout Southeast Asia".

The REIDS-SPORE microgrid, for which ENGIE EPS has actually provided the Hydrogen "Power-to-Power" system, aims to show the benefits of microgrids, checking the combination of solar, wind, thermal, storage as well as power-to-gas technologies to confirm that various renewable resource resources can operate well together, in addition to supply a screening and training platform for reduced carbon innovations connected to power.

ENGIE EPS' devices consists of a Hydrogen Power-to-Power system, based upon proprietary innovation, made up by an electrolyser system, transforming water and also power into hydrogen (Power-to-Gas), a gas cell system converting hydrogen back to power (Gas-to-Power) and also hydrogen as well as oxygen storage of around 2 MWh.

ENGIE EPS will support ENGIE Lab Singapore to perform additional examinations and will certainly accept ENGIE Lab Singapore to ensure the most effective performance of the systems. The Semakau website's appointing has actually been finished effectively, as well as its commencement is set up for 26 November 2020.
