Partner's News The Energy Hubs – Fill the Backbone report by Hydrogen Scotland member Net Zero Technology Centre highlights the emerging opportunity to export green hydrogen from Scotland into the expanding hydrogen market in Europe. Economic modelling indicates that a 10 GW scale Energy Hub in Scotland producing green hydrogen from floating offshore wind could produce hydrogen for £3.90/kg. To capitalise on this opportunity, Scotland will need to develop strategic Energy Hubs in time to meet this growing demand. https://lnkd.in/gPJgp5SC

Centrica addresses electric fleet issue Energy firm Centrica has addressed the major challenge of “bricking” faced by electric vehicle (EV) fleets nationwide. The problem occurs when the 12-volt auxiliary battery, which powers essential functions like central locking, fails, leaving the vehicle completely inoperable. With a simple and effective solar solution, Centrica is prolonging battery life, and ensuring engineers can get to its customers faster, and more reliably, it said. The company has teamed up with fleet technology specialist, Genie Insights, to have solar panels fitted to the roof of its electric vans. The solar panels provide a trickle charge to the 12-volt batteries, keeping them operational even during periods of inactivity, or when a so-called “parasitic draw” is being taken by telematics or other ancillary equipment.
