HRH The Prince of Wales views fuel cell demonstration by AFC
Energy at COP26
03 November 2021, Glasgow - Today at the COP26 Conference, HRH
The Prince of Wales, saw a demonstration of AFC Energy's
zero-emission Hydrogen power generator that has featured in the
inaugural Extreme E all-electric SUV racing series in 2021
His Royal Highness was hosting McLaren Racing's event where Zak
Brown, McLaren Racing CEO, confirmed their entry into Extreme E in
2022 and announced Emma Gilmour as the team's first-ever female
driver. McLaren will be the latest team to join the series, raising
awareness of the impact of climate change, participating in Extreme
E's robust legacy programmes, and leaving a lasting footprint by
engaging its fans around the world to take climate action.
His Royal Highness was also able to see a demonstration, given
by AFC Energy's CEO, Adam Bond, of how hydrogen fuelled power
generation, an alternative zero emission off grid power source, is
being pioneered by Extreme E and all its race teams in a world
first to remotely charge the electric SUVs competing in the series
in a completely sustainable manner.
The fuel cell system engineered and designed by AFC Energy in
collaboration with Extreme E, has successfully featured in each of
the first four races of the 2021 season, charging race vehicles
successfully in Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Greenland and Sardinia
without harmful greenhouse emissions.
Operation of AFC Energy's genuinely sustainable clean energy
system has been witnessed at each race location by representatives
from industry and off-grid power users seeking to address the
evolving transition from diesel fuelled power, thereby delivering
on Extreme E's aspiration of mixing sport with purpose in order to
inspire long term change.
Adam Bond, Chief Executive Officer of AFC Energy, said:
" It was an honour to meet HRH The Prince of Wales at COP26 and
to demonstrate the real-world application of our technology. We
were able to show how AFC Energy, a British business champion, is
at the forefront of clean tech innovation and focused on developing
the solutions needed to limit the effects of climate change.
"I am delighted to see another famous marque like McLaren join
Extreme E and want to thank Zak and the team for inviting us to
join today's event and allowing us to showcase our zero emission
hydrogen power generators."
