Last week John Whittingdale paid a visit to TCP, a Maldon-based business with a dedicated division of the company called TCP ECO that specialises in hydrogen fuel-cell applications, such as mobile lighting towers and off-grid power.
Managing director, Andrew Barker, showed Mr Whittingdale a wide range of equipment, that can all be powered by hydrogen-fuel-cells. Hydrogen fuelled products such as the TCP ECO product range, is a perfect solution to reducing environmental impact. The only output is water vapour, meaning there are no emissions that risk polluting the environment, there is no risk of ground fuel spill and no noise pollution. This green energy is created from a chemical reaction between compressed hydrogen and oxygen in the surrounding air.
TCP is a family-run business formed in 1989. The core focus of the company is to manage the transition from traditional fossil fuels to exciting new renewable power sources and to provide environmentally friendly products for its customers. With depots across the UK, it is well placed to serve its growing customer-base as the demand for sustainable energy rises.
Mr Whittingdale said, “In the week of COP26, I was delighted to visit TCP in Maldon who are at the forefront in developing alternatives to traditional fossil-fuel powered generators and lighting towers. It is great that a local firm is now a leader in the use of hydrogen fuel-cell technology which will make a vital contribution to reducing our carbon emissions. I was impressed to hear of the success of their Ecolite TH-200 product which is now used companies across the construction and events sectors and have no doubt that the future products in development will be equally successful”.
