Energy Secretary Raphael Lotilla said in a recent forum “partnerships that would enable the country on the proper application of hydrogen in the Philippine setting is welcome.”
Lotilla said the remaining obstacles to its widespread adoption are the costs of manufacturing green hydrogen and the issues related to transporting hydrogen.“We should keep abreast with these, and already begin to map out policies for the quick integration into our energy mix once breakthroughs happen at a fast phase,” the energy chief said.
“The added benefit of hydrogen and ammonia is our potential to locally produce them using renewable energy, and possibly the production of needed fertilizer for the agriculture sector [ammonia being the chief feedstock for fertilizers],” Lotilla said. Lotilla said a low-carbon economy remains an ambitious goal for a developing country like the Philippines with scarce resources, as achieving it requires substantial capital investments, tighter policies and regulations and the deployment of next-generation technologies.
