Good day.
I am a graduate student from the University of the Philippines Diliman. I am doing a dissertation research entitled "Decision support tool for green hydrogen production". The objective of the study is to develop a decision support tool that can be used to evaluate possible scenarios with the integration of large-scale hydrogen production from renewable energy in the Philippines. The results of this research can help improve the reliability of power supply in Tarlac as the demand increases following the development of New Clark City. I am respectfully requesting for the number of tourist arrivals in Tarlac from the year 2000 up to the present. I will be using the said data to forecast the energy demand of Tarlac. I am hoping for your favorable response. Thank you very much.
