ACCELERATING THE TRANSITION…

Hydrologiq is accelerating the transition to off-grid electricity powered by Hydrogen. We are creating economically viable solutions to reduce our society’s carbon footprint, building towards the common goal of Net Zero 2050. We believe it’s not enough that a carbon-neutral solution exists. It must also be a commercially viable solution, allowing companies to adopt it without being forced to by government legislation.

This starts with the off-grid energy sector, and its reliance on diesel generators. In the UK we burn 4.56 billion litres of diesel in non-road applications each year*. That much combustion produces some 14.2 million tonnes CO2e, but the downsides don’t stop there.

Diesel generators produce vibrations that need to be monitored in urban areas; diesel generators are so noisy they cannot always be used 24/7; diesel generators produce harmful emissions at the point of use, delivering particulates into the lungs of construction workers and festival-goers alike.

As ultra-low emission zones, and air quality regulation rightly force a move towards cleaner solutions, stage 5 diesel generators have emerged. While quieter and less polluting in operation, they are very expensive, use more diesel, and have higher maintenance costs – We see an alternative: the hydrogen fuel cell.
