13. PURE Energy Centre, Baltasound, Unst
•The PURE Energy Centre is a venture on the northernost Shetland
Island of Unst. Established originally as a community venture, the project
has since grown into a world-leading consultancy on clean hydrogen.
•Island community
•Highest Oil Prices in UK
•„Energy Isolation‟ – North Sea Oil currently generates revenue.
•Lack of “highly skilled” jobs
•Problems retaining young people on the island
•Low wages, hard to generate wealth, limited opportunities
Two Proven Wind Turbines Produce Renewable Power
This feeds an electrolyser which produces hydrogen.
This hydrogen can be stored, for later use.
An onsite hydrogen fuel cell provides heat and power.
A small fuel cell vehicle can be refuelled using H2

Energy efficiency
•Increased insulation
•Increased efficient glazing to minimise heat loss and
unwanted heat gain
•Natural ventilation to remove the need for air
conditioning
•A layout that maximises natural daylight to minimise
the need for artificial lighting
•Efficient lighting and control systems
•A ground source heat pump, also recovering waste
heat from a fuel cell and electrolysis unit, to provide
most of the heating and hot water for the building
21. Environmental Energy Technology Centre
The main criteria for the development of EETC are:
•Iconic building
•Use of innovative technology
•„Zero carbon building‟
•Iconic Renewable Hydrogen System
•Support enterprising and innovation of products
•Exploit opportunities arising from low carbon economy
23. Environmental Energy Technology Centre

27. Woking Park CHP
Woking Park Leisure
Centre Uses a Fuel
Cell To Provide
Heat & Power
In ‘traditional’
CCGT Gas Plant,
the heat produced
as a by-product of
electricity
production would
be wasted!
28. Woking Park CHP
Fuel Cell CHP
‘Bolted on to existing
multi-storey car-park’
Supplies heat and
power to neighbouring
hotel. Savings in
‘plant room’ allowed
them to add a number
of additional rooms.
