Hydrogen-Powered Innovation Drives the Future of Textile Recycling Project Re:claim, a groundbreaking new polyester recycling plant in Kettering, Northamptonshire, is pioneering the use of zero-emission hydrogen power technology to address the pressing issue of polyester textile waste. This innovative project, a joint venture between the Salvation Army Trading Company Ltd (SATCoL) and Project Plan B, is set to drive the industry towards a circular economy. GeoPura, a leader in sustainable energy solutions, is providing the critical power needed to support this transformative initiative from green hydrogen.
GeoPura’s Hydrogen Power Units (HPUs) are providing zero-emission electricity generated via green hydrogen to support the initial phase of Project Re:claim. Until a suitable grid connection is established, which may take 12-18 months, the GeoPura hydrogen-powered generators are ensuring the site has a reliable, sustainable power supply that can withstand the demands of the plant. The only output is water.
, CEO of Project Plan B, highlighted the project’s significance and the challenge of securing sufficient power, stating, “A significant challenge in launching Project Re:claim was ensuring we had enough power to operate sustainably from the outset. GeoPura’s hydrogen power solutions have been instrumental in overcoming this hurdle, enabling the plant to operate efficiently without relying on fossil fuels. This not only aligns perfectly with our mission to create a .
