Off-Grid Sites’ Carbon Emissions Slashed by an Impressive 99% Through SolarPower Solution Solartainer
In an effort to combat climate change, two Yorkshire-based companies, Think Hire and EV3 Power, have joined forces to develop a groundbreaking solartainer solution. This innovative system, designed for off-grid sites, aims to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by an impressive 99%.
Think Hire, a company known for its environmental advocacy and range of solar and wind turbine powered products, has partnered with EV3 Power to bring this game-changing solution to life. The collaboration has already demonstrated its potential in a project with Taziker and Network Rail, resulting in a staggering 88% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions across three compounds.
The solartainer solution is a sophisticated system that integrates solar panels, a battery, and an EV charging unit. This setup significantly reduces the runtime of diesel generators to just 12 hours per day. To further minimise carbon dioxide emissions, the system uses HVO fuel, one of the cleanest fuels on the market, in the generators attached to it.
By using HVO fuel, the solution eliminates up to 90% of net carbon dioxide emissions and significantly reduces nitrogen oxide (NOx), particulate matter (PM) and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions. This not only benefits the environment but also reduces fuel costs for the project, making it a cost-effective solution as well.
The introduction of this solartainer solution also opens up the possibility of charging electric equipment at any off-grid site, including plant, cars, and other site vehicles. This collaboration between Think Hire and EV3 Power is set to change the way sites operate, focusing on cost savings and environmental friendliness.
The Environment Agency (EA) has set a target of net zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2030, and this new solartainer solution aligns perfectly with this ambitious goal. The EA, along with suppliers and other stakeholders, will be working together to reduce their carbon footprint and harness technological innovation to achieve these targets.
It's worth noting that the National Grid generates less than half of its output from renewable energy. The implementation of solutions like the solartainer system will be crucial in increasing the use of renewable energy and meeting the EA's target.
Sites connected to the grid can also benefit from carbon dioxide reduction using the new services. By using renewable energy on site, emissions such as carbon dioxide, NOx, SO2 and PM are reduced, noise pollution from diesel generators is eliminated, and fuel costs for the project are significantly cut.
In conclusion, the collaboration between Think Hire and EV3 Power is set to revolutionise the way off-grid sites operate, paving the way for a cleaner, greener future. As more companies adopt these environmentally friendly practices, we move one step closer to achieving the EA's target of net zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2030.
