Hutchison CP Start to Operate Its10 Hydrogen BTS

Jakarta - GSM Operator, Hutchison CP Telecom (HCPT),'3 ', start up with the use of cell energy hydrogen BTS (hydrogen fuel cell). It is claimed to friendly environmentally, clean, and free of pollution.

Suresh Reddy, Chief Commercial Officer of HCPT said that this is one way to reduce air pollution in Indonesia. Ie, apply the technology with the efficient alternative energy on '"3" BTS.

"In early 2009, we have to buy and operate the hydrogen energy cell for ten BTS in Jabodetabek, Surabaya and its surrounding areas," augment him to Detik on Thursday (26/2/2009).

Hydrogen cell energy was first used by NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administrasion), and is currently being developed and used in the automotive bussiness.

Meanwhile, for the telecommunications industry, the technology is working to replace the diesel generator at the main energy while being broken, so that the network will continues in stable condition.

It is believed that cell hydrogen energy is a clean source of energy and does not generate any hazardous waste except water. Consequently, the profits earned from the operation of cell hydrogen energy in BTS are increasing power, backup power more durable, maintenance and sparing.

So, by using this source of hydrogen energy, sound and air pollution are expected to be more reduced rather than with that removed by normal generator.

Another operator who also use hydrogen as an alternative energy source is the Axis. This service operates BTS equipped with a hydrogen in the Sei Mencirim, Deli Serdang, North Sumatra, which will provide backup power when the supply of electricity to PLN interference. (Ardhi Suryadhi - detikinet)
