Ethical Power commissions green hydrogen PV project

• 5MW White Pit solar farm will feed right into an electrolyser as part of the Dorset Green H2 scheme

Ethical Power has actually commissioned a 5MW solar farm that will feed right into a green hydrogen electrolyser as part of the Dorset Green H2 project in England.

The Whites Pit project has been constructed in Wimborne for Canford Renewable Energy, a driver and programmer of energy framework across the South West consisting of renewables as well as gas power stations.

The Dorset Green H2 is their very first green hydrogen project as well as also the first center of this enter the region.

Ethical Power was the EPC specialist for the project built on now shut previous landfill had by Canford Renewable Energy.

The range of jobs by Ethical Power Group companies likewise consisted of advancement working as a consultant as well as due persistance, civils and reinstatement jobs and also technological due diligence throughout the construction stage.

Ethical Power managing director Neil Buck claimed: "Brownfield advancements [on previously used land, e.g. landfill sites] are usually extra intricate than Greenfield projects.

" To successfully improve a landfill site, you need a deep understanding of the intricacies around existing land use, testing ground problems and also the details mounting framework requirements.

" Whites Pit was a difficult project but along with the Canford team we managed to find services that guaranteed the appropriate multi-tech infrastructure and also controls remain in location as well as we with confidence fulfilled the energisation date."

The electricity created from the solar park will certainly feed into a 0.9 MW electrolyser to create circa 120,000 kg of green hydrogen each year.

On overcast days as well as overnight, the solar energy output on site will certainly be supplemented by gas created from the closed landfill site.
