Innovative Partnership for Zero-Carbon Homes and Renewable Energy Systems
Key Ideas
- ITM Power collaborates with Building Research Establishment to develop renewable hydrogen energy systems for zero carbon footprint homes.
- DLA Piper appointed as legal advisers for Moorland Energy's gas processing facility in North Yorkshire.
- Barnsley hosts networking event focusing on innovation in business success.
- Humberside Engineering Training Association partners with SMart Wind for wind farm projects naming competition for school children.
ITM Power, a company specializing in energy storage and clean fuel, is teaming up with the Building Research Establishment to work on renewable hydrogen energy systems for low energy homes. The aim is to create house designs with a zero carbon footprint. The collaboration is expected to result in the construction of a demonstration home, promoting very low carbon footprint energy systems in the built environment. Martin Watson of BRE expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, highlighting the importance of decarbonisation pathways in the building industry. In another development, Moorland Energy has chosen DLA Piper as legal advisers for their gas processing facility outside Thornton le Dale in North Yorkshire. This facility will clean natural gas for export into the National Transmission System. The firm believes that DLA Piper's expertise in planning law will be crucial for their project's success. Furthermore, a networking event focusing on innovation in business will take place in Barnsley. Entrepreneurs will share how innovation has contributed to their success, emphasizing the necessity of continuous innovation for business growth. Lastly, school children around the Humber region have the opportunity to name wind farm projects through the partnership of Humberside Engineering Training Association and SMart Wind. This initiative includes wind-related challenges and encourages pupils to suggest names for the offshore wind farm projects that will significantly contribute to the UK's electricity demand.
