Global hydrogen and fuel cell solutions provider, Renewable Innovations Inc., has been collaborating with the New Zealand office of international consultancy firm AECOM, international fuel cell suppliers, and other hydrogen partners in the development of hydrogen fuel cell-powered emergency power supplies capable of producing up to 80 kW of power.
Fueled by green hydrogen produced here in New Zealand, each hydrogen powered system can operate for up to seven days with hydrogen cylinder packs easily transported or delivered by helicopter to the remote operation sites to maintain power. Renewable Innovations is currently working with a number of remote site operators across New Zealand to install the first EmPower™ 50 systems to power essential infrastructure with reliable 100% renewable hydrogen energy. These are the smallest version of the EmPower™ product range and are also available as much larger models to deliver mega-Watts of power wherever it is needed. To prepare for the scale that will be required to contribute to nation's current net- zero targets, Renewable Innovations is investigating plans to create a manufacturing plant in New Zealand.
