Power Logistics Partners with GeoPura to Develop Innovative Hydrogen Generator System
Key Ideas
  • Power Logistics and GeoPura collaborated to create the HPU2 hydrogen generator system, offering higher energy output and improved sustainability features.
  • The system was successfully tested at Siemens Energy’s facility in Newcastle and may be utilized in the Extreme H racing series for hydrogen-powered vehicles.
  • The HPU2 boasts increased electricity generation, reduced footprint, and enhanced modular design with external battery support, making it versatile for various energy needs.
  • Partners anticipate broader applications beyond motorsport, targeting temporary broadcast centers, construction sites, and large-scale events, aiming to gather operational data for wider commercial hydrogen system use.
UK-based Power Logistics has joined forces with fuel cell specialist GeoPura to develop a cutting-edge hydrogen generator system named HPU2. The collaboration, endorsed by key figures like Theo Elmer from GeoPura and Andy Welch from Extreme H, aims to revolutionize energy management in high-demand environments. The HPU2, capable of generating 500kW of electricity, showcases superior performance over its predecessor, the HPU1. Its successful trial at Siemens Energy’s Newcastle facility marks a significant milestone, potentially paving the way for its integration into the Extreme H racing series - a pioneering move in hydrogen-powered motorsport. Noteworthy features of the HPU2 include its compact size, lighter weight, and adaptable modular configuration with external battery compatibility, offering versatility for diverse energy requirements. The project's sustainability focus is exemplified by the incorporation of green hydrogen, supplied by ENOWA, ensuring minimal carbon emissions through the utilization of renewable energy sources. The system's developers envision varied applications beyond motorsport, such as deployment in temporary broadcast hubs, construction sites, and mega events. The collaboration's emphasis on data collection and technological advancements, including solar and hydrogen power integration, underscores a commitment to enhancing energy efficiency and reducing carbon footprints. With an optimistic outlook towards commercializing hydrogen systems in the rental market, the ongoing trial in Extreme H anticipates providing valuable insights that could drive the wider adoption of sustainable energy solutions.
