Low carbon energy
Energy is a global issue that puts CPI at the heart of the UK’s drive to bring new sustainable energy sources into use. With Governments' increased pressure to reduce carbon footprints, CPI’s work in alternative energies offers high potential to help reduce the strain on our planet.
Our fuel cell labs are up and running and technologists from around the country are taking advantage of the new facilities. We have focused on hydrogen as a fuel source and have already demonstrated the world’s first hydrogen powered lighthouse. Next is a mobile hydrogen fuel station. Developments planned for the future include a move into fuel production from biomass.
The Tees Valley is an excellent base for a facility such as ours, with infrastructure and expertise in place thanks to the region’s historical links with the chemical industry. Hydrogen is also produced in significant quantities, much of it as a by-product of the manufacturing activities.
