Philippines: Star Scientific’s cutting-edge hydrogen innovation to help drive Philippines sustainable economic development
01 Feb 2021
Star Scientific has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the
Department of Energy of the Republic of the Philippines to help drive the country’s energy self-sufficiency and economic development through green hydrogen as a fuel source.
At the heart of the MOU is Star Scientific Limited’s breakthrough technology, the
Hydrogen Energy Release Optimizer or HERO®. The S&P Platts award-winning HERO® technology is a true catalyst that converts hydrogen and oxygen into heat and water, without degrading the catalyst. There is no combustion, and the only outputs are heat and pure water. The HERO® can generate temperatures beyond 700 degrees Celsius in just over three minutes, and it is being used as the heat source in the HERO® heat exchanger system.

The first-of-its-kind agreement for an Australian business will see Star Scientific look into retrofitting the Philippines’ existing coal-fired power plants to run on its HERO® technology.
