In the UK, Ethical Power Ltd said it has commissioned the 5 MW Whites Pit solar farm in Wimborne for Canford Renewable Energy. The solar park will feed into a green hydrogen electrolyzer as part of the Dorset Green H2 project, the company said. The company noted that the Dorset Green H2 is their first green hydrogen project and also the first facility of this type in the region. Ethical Power said that a total of 12,430 solar modules were installed across the 26 acres landfill site. The electricity generated from the solar park will feed into a 0.9MW electrolyzer to produce approximately 120,000 kg of green hydrogen per year. Nathan Ross, the firm’s CRE’s Managing Director, said: “We are delighted to be able to put this old landfill site to further use producing renewable energy and zero emission green hydrogen. This will benefit the Dorset economy and further reduce its carbon footprint. The Dorset Green Hydrogen project is also a catalyst for the development of a hydrogen economy in the South West.”
