A solar microgrid and hydrogen installation, featuring battery-electrolyser technology developed at Loughborough University, has now been formally handed over at Mwanza District Hospital in Malawi.
The technology is one of ten innovations selected for the Royce Hydrogen Accelerator, delivered with Conception X, to fast‑track scale‑up, manufacturing automation and field validation.
Battery-electrolyser is the only UK finalist in the 2026 International Energy Awards Technology category alongside initiatives from companies in the US, France and Ukraine.
Loughborough University is the only standalone university shortlisted in the 2026 Hydrogen UK Awards for its pioneering battery‑electrolyser system.
Loughborough University has successfully demonstrated the world’s first full-scale lead-acid battery-electrolyser test unit producing green hydrogen of over 99% purity and using it for clean cooking.
Loughborough University’s team has won the national honour supported by the Hydrogen Energy Association and Hydrogen Scotland, recognising excellence in hydrogen and fuel cell innovation.
