In Philippines, Hydrogène de France (HDF Energy), said it has strengthened its partnership with the Department of Energy (DoE) and the Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) by signing a joint Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). This agreement aims to drive research and development in efficient technologies for harnessing renewable energy sources and locally produced green hydrogen for sustainable application across targeted regions throughout the Philippines, the company said. Building on the success of previous collaborations with the Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) and the National Power Corporation (NPC) in 2023, this new agreement marks a significant milestone in the effort to decarbonize the Philippines’ power sector as part of a comprehensive energy transition strategy, said HDF Energy. Under this agreement, HDF Energy, together with the DoE and MinDA, commits to jointly fostering investments in renewable energy technologies, with a particular emphasis on hydrogen-based solutions. By collaborating with HDF Energy, the Philippine DoE and MinDA will use its Renewstable multi-MW hydrogen power plants, which utilize solar or wind energy and water to generate electricity.
