DOE maps out native hydrogen sites
The Department of Energy is accelerating the Philippines'' clean energy shift with a recent hydrogen survey in Zambales and Pangasinan, providing key data to guide exploration
The DOE has identified two areas for hydrogen exploration: PDA-PH-1 in Zambales and PDA-PH-2 in Pangasinan, covering a combined area of over 230,000 hectares. In 2023, the Philippine government developed the “Hydrogen and Fusion Energy Roadmap” to contribute to carbon neutrality and energy transition.
The plant, looked to be the first of its kind in the Philippines and Southeast Asia, is still four years away from being fully operational. Slapped with a P3-billion project cost, the power plant will be constructed by Hydrogene De France (HDF) Energy, a company that envisions a future where hydrogen is used to complement renewable energy sources.
The Philippines recognizes hydrogen as a pivotal component in achieving its decarbonization goals. The Department of Energy (DOE) has initiated efforts to integrate hydrogen into the country's energy mix, focusing on its potential to decarbonize power generation and transportation sectors.
Due to its potential for renewable energy, the Philippines' advantageous geographic location can make it a significant provider of green hydrogen. This export possibility boosts regional cooperation in the pursuit of sustainable energy goals in addition to providing economic benefits.
