Rivan Industries has announced plans to establish the Little Rose Lane Energy Park in Swindon, a project aimed at producing synthetic fuel by capturing carbon from the air and combining it with green hydrogen generated through solar energy. This initiative seeks to create a fossil-free gas that can be directly integrated into the UK's energy grid, eliminating the necessity for conventional fuel transportation methods. The founder and CEO, Harvey Hodd, emphasized the project's local impact, highlighting the transformation of air carbon into clean, usable fuel as a step towards practical and affordable net zero solutions. The energy park is designed to incorporate solar power, synthetic fuel generators, and clean fuel injection into the existing gas grid, replacing traditional fossil-based gas. By capturing carbon dioxide and utilizing green hydrogen, the project aims to produce synthetic gas without increasing CO₂ levels in the atmosphere. Rivan Industries envisions Swindon as a pioneer in decarbonizing energy-intensive sectors like steel, cement, shipping, and aviation. The company's technology, currently undergoing trials at the Science and Innovation Park near Wroughton, was developed locally. As the project progresses, Rivan Industries is dedicated to safeguarding local ecosystems and minimizing environmental impacts. A public consultation period is underway to gather feedback on the project's design and management, ensuring community involvement and addressing concerns about noise, biodiversity protection, and traffic congestion. Residents, community groups, and stakeholders are encouraged to participate, with plans for a community benefit fund to support local initiatives pending planning approval. Feedback can be submitted through various channels provided on the Rivan Industries website, reflecting the company's commitment to transparency and community engagement.
