Solar-hydrogen microgrid with dedicated fresh-water production for Bandjoun, Cameroon 

Partners: B.P.P, Universo, Bandjoun Local Authorities

Country: Cameroon

Technology: Smart green grids, including mini and main grid technologies

Stage: Early

Stage: 9

The conversion of the large solar energy resource into clean Hydrogen (H2) fuel and fresh water, offers accessible clean energy solutions for the world’s least developed regions. This significantly impacts gender equality and social inclusion since the collection of wood for cooking fuel and water collection is a burden on women in these societies. 

This project aims to develop an innovative energy solution for urban areas in Africa characterised by abundant solar energy. The system will integrate modular technologies and a ‘Plug & Play’ approach to Green H2 and clean water production using intermittent solar power sources.

This project is conducted in collaboration with the solar energy company Universo, based in Bandjoun, Cameroon and the local authorities of Bandjoun to demonstrate a clear example application.
