The Ministry of Defence (MOD) and GeoPura have completed a trial of hydrogen power for military bases.
The trial introduced hydrogen-powered generators to charge electric vehicles (EVs) at five key MOD locations, including RAF Leeming and HMS Excellent Portsmouth.
The trial aimed to test the use of green hydrogen to support battery electric vehicle (BEV) charging using zero-emission generators.
This is the first military application of this technology.
Air Vice-Marshal Rich Pratley, MOD Senior Responsible Owner for this project, said: “This trial has demonstrated the potential of hydrogen as a key enabler of our transition to zero-emissions energy, while also addressing the current challenges posed by our expanding EV fleet.”
Matt Barney, Chief Hydrogen Business Officer at GeoPura commented: “By harnessing the power of green hydrogen, our generators ensure rapid charging with zero harmful emissions, completely unrestricted by grid limitations.”
