The Llowlab-islands obtain their full energy supply from the hydrogen generator Purity. To this purpose Bredenoord, together with its partners, developed a second Purity, that has over three times as much capacity as the earlier model. Also in Germany, Denmark and Great-Britain there is a demand for sustainable energy during events. Early this Summer, Bredenoord used its sustainable technique for part of the energy supply at the Glastonbury Festival and at three smaller festivals in the London environment.
The latest Purity model has a capacity of 17,5 kVA, more than sufficient to provide the entire Llowlab with energy. The smallest version of the Purity, with a capacity of 5kW, has been operational at Glastonbury 2010, with the specific task of functioning as a supplement for the solar power generators. Inside the extremely silent fuel cell generator an electro-chemical reaction takes place between hydrogen and oxygen from the air. This process only releases heat and clean water; so no emission of soot and particulate matter! This makes the Purity an important option for a sustainable future of events such as Glastonbury and Lowlands.
Dedicated to sustainability
Bredenoord, together with partners such as Nedstack, is the first company to deploy hydrogen fuel cell technique for mobile energy generators. General manager Jaap Fluit: “This fully fitted into our vision on energy. We offer energy at every location, also in a future in which less fossil fuel shall be available and where reduction of emission is essential. With the larger Purity we demonstrate that the deployment of hydrogen in mobile generators has not been a one-hit-wonder. We also work continuously on clever solutions in the field of fuel saving and making existing equipment cleaner.”About Bredenoord
