In an effort to use alternative energy solutions that have a positive impact on the environment, more than 150 IdaTech backup power fuel cell systems have been installed on Hutchison Indonesia's network instead of traditional diesel generators. Indonesia's Ministry of the Environment has been encouraging local companies to aggressively adopt alternative and renewable sources of energy in an effort to reduce Indonesia's carbon footprint. The press conference, held on March 9th, was attended by both Indonesia's Minister of Communication and Indonesian Renewable Energy Society. Bapak Tifatul Sembiring, Minister of Communication commented, "The use of Hydrogen gas to power BTS makes us very happy and the use of alternative energy is an innovative move which we all support. We congratulate PT Hutchison Indonesia for using fuel cells and hope this initiative can be developed by other operators as an example."
IdaTech's ElectraGen H2-I backup fuel cell system was on display at the press conference to demonstrate the benefits of using fuel cells as a clean technology solution.
