Webinar: Powering a Sustainable Outage with Hydrogen

Length: 1 hour

How Sustainable Is Your Outage?

Decarbonizing the energy system involves more than just introducing renewable power and alternative technologies into the power grid. Energy companies worldwide are setting sustainability targets to help them decarbonize not only their output but also their operations and maintenance programs. How can critical, off-grid power support operational carbon reduction goals? Through a partnership between Siemens Energy and GeoPura, the Hydrogen Power Unit (HPU) utilizes fuel cell technology to convert green hydrogen into zero-emission power, providing mobile, grid-independent clean electricity.

In this webcast, our speakers from GeoPura and Siemens Energy discuss how Uniper's Cottam Development Centre successfully implemented a sustainable maintenance outage using the HPU and saved 94 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the process. Learn how you too can meet your power station's operational sustainability goals using green hydrogen!
