A botanical garden in Thailand is trying to give a boost to the hydrogen microgrid concept, an approach that is still nascent. The 600-acre Nongooch Tropical Botanical Gardens in Pattaya set up a demonstration microgrid in early October to show that hydrogen can act as an energy storage solution for local grids, one that doesn’t require fossil fuels. Nongooch partnered on the project with Enapter, a manufacturer of modular hydrogen systems using AEM electrolysis. Nongooch’s hydrogen microgrid isn’t the first Enapter has installed. In collaboration with Electricite de France and hydrogen power systems specialists Powidiant, Enapter deployed an off-grid microgrid that has been operating since 2017 at the Cirque de Mafate caldera on Reunion Island, a French overseas territory in the southern Indian Ocean. Dubbed SAGES (Smart Autonomous Green Energy System), it provides 10-days of energy storage capacity, does not use any fossil fuels and provides electricity to several houses, a school, a workshop and medical dispensary, said Enapter co-founder Vaitea Cowan.
