A CHP system powered the airport terminal, runway lighting and met heating demand.
The European Marine Energy Centre has completed a novel hydrogen combustion engine technology trial at Kirkwall Airport in Orkney, UK.
A combined heat and power system manufactured by 2G used green hydrogen supplied by EMEC to generate electricity and recover heat.
It was positioned airside at Kirkwall Airport and coupled with the airport’s existing heating system to supply heat to the main terminal building and power across the entire site.
EMEC explained that as part of the trial, additional electrical loads were activated to test the system, allowing the CHP to supply a steady output...
