H2 Energy Sdn Bhd – 2.88 kWp Solar Powered Hydrogen Generation System (Malaysia)

HT Energy (S) Sdn Bhd (HTES) is implementing a pilot 2.88 kWp solar-powered hydrogen system at the Long Loyang Clinic in Sarawak, Malaysia, to replace irregular and costly diesel power. The system uses solar PV and an electrolyser to store energy as hydrogen gas (30 Nm3 capacity), providing 25-30 kW of electricity daily for essential medical services. The project aims to avoid 13 to 33 tonnes of CO2 annually and serves as a model for 57 other rural clinics in the region.

• The Long Loyang Clinic previously relied on diesel generators that were costly and irregular, often failing during rainy seasons when roads became inaccessible or when fuel ran out, leaving essential medical equipment like refrigeration for vaccines and defibrillators without power.
• The installed 'H2 system' is designed to meet a daily energy demand of 25-30 kW (15 kW during the day and 10 kW at night) with a peak load of 2.88 kWp. It utilizes solar PV panels and an electrolyser to produce hydrogen gas stored in tanks with a capacity of 30 Nm3, which converts back to 38 kWh of electricity during periods of solar inactivity.
• The project is expected to reduce carbon emissions by 13 to 33 tonnes of CO2 per year compared to a full diesel-power scenario and will indirectly benefit 2,172 community members.
• Implementation faced delays due to bureaucratic approvals, customs clearance issues, remote site logistics, wet weather, and COVID-19 movement restrictions imposed by the Malaysian government.
• HTES intends to scale this technology to other rural settings, including schools and 57 other rural clinics in Sarawak, estimating a commissioning timeline of no more than five months per project.
