Electro Power Systems (Paris:EPS), the forerunner in smart hydrogen-based systems for energy storage, is proud to announce it has entered into a major global collaboration program with the International Civil Defence Organisation (ICDO) to develop access to green electricity in emergency situations in the framework of the ICDO program of assistance for the development of national Civil Protection.

Electro Power Systems’ CEO, Carlalberto Guglielminotti, declared: "Electro Power Systems is very proud to partner with the International Civil Defence Organisation, an organisation with international prestige and ambitious missions to protect the populations, property, and the environment.

EPS and the ICDO are exploring together the best possible clean technology solutions available to guarantee the ICDO humanitarian programs with remote access to green micro power generation in emergency situations such as earthquakes, draughts, floods, storms, forest fires, landslides and avalanches. EPS is convinced its technological expertise can contribute to the wonderful opportunity to provide the best possible solution throughout the world. EPS is honoured to be part of such important programs.”

A joint mission to serve people in emergency situations

The ICDO’s core mission is to develop the national defence structures of its Member States and to encourage cooperation and mutual solidarity between them. As part of its global mission, and in particular its program of assistance in the development of national civil protection structures of its Member States, the ICDO has implemented since 2002 a Program of Donation of Equipment and Materials to facilitate resolving major issues, such as access to electrical continuity in emergency situations such as earthquakes, draughts, floods, storms, forest fires, landslides and avalanches. In this respect, EPS off-grid technological solution can play a major role in addressing continuity issues globally with a clean solution.

Both EPS and the ICDO are now collaborating to identify and verify the best possible solutions to address the needs that arise during emergency situations and guarantee continuity to the humanitarian programs managed by ICDO.

About International Civil Defence Organisation

The International Civil Defence Organization (ICDO) is an intergovernmental organization which objective is to contribute to the development by States of structures ensuring the protection and assistance of population and safeguarding property and the environment from natural or man-made disasters. These structures, which are generally known as civil protection, civil defence or civil safety, are all concerned with the management of emergency situations. The ICDO federates the national structures established by States for this purpose with the aim of favouring cooperation and mutual solidarity amongst them.
