The site, which undergoes routine maintenance outages every 4-5 years used the HPU as a backup power supply while disconnected from the main power grid. Produced locally by GeoPura using renewable energy from a biomass facility, the green hydrogen enables a reduction in carbon emissions when compared with a diesel generator, in addition to eliminating Nox and particular matter.
