The team are building battery-electrolysers that do two roles in the one device: supporting solar powered microgrids and producing hydrogen for clean cooking. The systems are being deployed at Loughborough University, Malawi, Zambia, and Côte D’Ivoire, funded by three projects: the East Midlands Freeport, MESCH, and LoCEL-H2.
