The Balon Balon Ijo is a speculative energy business that addresses the need for cheaper, cleaner energy. Balon Balon Ijo utilizes the most abundant element in the universe, hydrogen, to locally produce hydrogen energy.

Balon Balon Ijo is designed to be a system of modular pods, allowing for future expansion. It is made up of a two types of “Pods”:

The demonstration pods have been made from locally sourced materials such as bamboo and reusing water bottles and styrofoam. The design is able to be adapted to locally available materials.

In the future we envision Balon Balon Ijo to be available to the public in three ways:

In the future we could integrate sensors in the pods and use distributed ledger technology/blockchain to issue eco-credits based of the production of hydrogen each pod produces per kilogram.

A DAO (decentralized autonomous organization), the Balon Balon Ijo Energy Cooperative, can be established that coordinates between the contributors and stakeholders of the system. SubDAOs could then form as needed to service the cooperative as needs emerge from building, harvesting, processing and distributing the hydrogen to market.

Hydrogen energy can be produced using renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, wave. When using hydrogen for electricity its by-products are water and heat. We chose hydrogen because it is a clean energy alternative to fossil fuels that is able to be produced and used locally.

Power (such as solar or wind) is able to be used to split water (H$_2$O) into hydrogen (H$_2$) and oxygen (O) using a process called electrolysis.

Example uses of Hydrogen include:

Our demonstration model can produce 5 litres of Hydrogen per hour.

The Balon Balon Ijo system can be setup anywhere, on the water, in a field, on a roof. The modular system means it can fit where needed and be expanded to meet local energy needs.

Balon Balon Ijo is for everyone. We see Balon Balon Ijo as an opportunity for local communities to make their energy locally in a sustainable way in a P2P energy market or selling to local industries such as food markets or transportation.

In the future we envision the following types of users:

For now the pods are just a concept. More refinement in their design is needed. The idea is to have a set of simple designs and instructions that allow anyone with a little knowhow on building things and electronics to make their own.

We also have the idea that in the future simple to put together kits and plug and play versions of the pods will also be available, allowing those without the knowhow to get access to the technology.

Our goal is to have the hydrogen produced by the Balon Balon Ijo pods be the same price or cheaper than LNG.

The Balon Balon Ijo design is opensource, meaning it is free for anyone to access and use to build their own.

Hydrogen gas, like any other fuel source is flammable and should be managed accordingly.

Legal requirements, including use of property, land or water should be confirmed with local authorities. This also applies to the use of DAO (decentralized autonomous organization) and distributed ledger technology/blockchain to issue eco-credits based of the production of hydrogen each pod produces per kilogram.

We will continue to work with local people to refine our design. We will also work with researchers to further develop the equipment for producing hydrogen to make it cheaper and more efficient.

Balon Balon Ijo will offer local communities the opportunity to generate their own energy to support their livelihoods. They could use that energy themselves or potentially trade that energy within their local community.

Balon Balon Ijo will support the development of communities by providing people with the means to generate hydrogen energy which they can use in their daily lives.

The Balon Balon Ijo pod structures are designed to be made from available materials, include reuse of items that would be thrown away, such as bottles or styrofoam to make the pods float.

The modular Balon Balon Ijo system allows it to be built and used anywhere. It is designed to be able to be replicated by anyone.

Balon Balon Ijo brings together modern technologies to produce hydrogen with traditional building methods for the pod structures. The flexible and simple design will allow for people to build the pod structures with what they have available locally.

What makes the Balon Balon Ijo concept different is the idea that anyone can make their own hydrogen energy and they do not need expensive equipment/tools to achieve this.
