Sistema Joint Stock Financial Corporation, in collaboration with MTS PJSC, is developing solutions for supplying cell towers with electricity from hydrogen. This was announced by Yuri Dobrovolsky, General Director of the Hydrogen Energy Center of AFC Sistema.
We are now going to make a charging device for MTS towers using hydrogen.
A pilot cell tower powered by hydrogen fuel is already operating in the region. The technology was developed by specialists from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) with the support of the RusHydro State Corporation and the government of the Sakhalin Region.
The operating scheme includes electricity generation at a solar power plant, hydrogen production by electrolysis, its compression and delivery in containers to remote facilities. With the help of hydrogen fuel cells, hydrogen is converted back into electricity, which ensures the autonomous operation of the tower and reduces emissions of harmful substances into the atmosphere.
Today, most remote facilities in Russia use imported diesel fuel, the supply of which is complex and expensive, and its combustion leads to the release of greenhouse gases.
Of course, getting energy from hydrogen is still more expensive than from traditional fossil fuels. But with the development of technology and the hydrogen market as a whole, with the formation of the necessary infrastructure, costs will be significantly reduced.
