JAKARTA (Yosefardi) – Green energy solutions company Cascadiant Energy has expanded its Agreement with Badan Pengkajian dan Penerapan Teknologi (BPPT), the Indonesian Agency For the Assessment and Application of Technology.

Cascadiant and BPPT have deployed the Agency’s first hydrogen fuel cell. This fuel cell will serve as the Agency’s platform in expanding its fuel cell research and development program as well as serving as the commercial back-up power source for the Agency’s data center.

There are 25,000 diesel generators used by the communications, fiber and broadcast industries in Indonesia for back-up power and an additional 5,000 diesel generators are replaced or added every year. Diesel generators are powered with imported environmentally damaging fossil fuels.

BPPT has recognized Indonesia’s potential to lead the world in the development, manufacture and deployment of fuel cells based on domestic demand alone and Cascadiant is very pleased to partner with BPPT in their efforts.
