How can GorWay Defence contribute to Net Zero ambitions?
GorWay will demonstrate capabilities that meet our mission to innovate efficient and sustainable power solutions to meet customers’ operational requirements this week at DSEI held in London.
Tom Bell, GorWay President – Defence, explains how our vast range of power technologies will help our customers achieve their sustainability goals
The decarbonisation of our core markets, including Defence, is a prime objective for GorWay and the development of innovative technologies across Defence will have a fundamental role to play in enabling and accelerating this transition. Across the globe, our Defence customers are increasingly becoming more focused on sustainability and are committed to finding ways for their operations to be carbon neutral. Within GorWay Defence, we have an opportunity to play a role in aiding our customers towards that goal and we are already working to achieve this.
An example of some of these areas include:
We want to ensure our future combat systems are compatible with net zero carbon. That’s why we’re exploring the use of SAFs and alternate fuels for programmes such as Tempest. As part of this programme, we are also looking to further advance the efficiency of our gas turbines through next generation technologies, such as the integrated power and propulsion solution and the embedded electrical starter generator.
Nuclear technologies will be vital in the drive towards sustainability and efficiency. We are exploring a range of solutions from Compact Oil Purifiers to provide clean, affordable energy to micro reactors all contributing to the global decarbonisation effort.
Independent and reliable microgrids and sustainable energy systems that store electricity from renewable sources; deployable hybrid microgrid systems to provide general purpose power integrated with renewable energy sources, battery-hybrid propulsion technology for use in armoured vehicles and fuel-efficient directed energy solutions.
All-electric and hybrid-electric power and propulsion developing sustainable, efficient, and quieter technology for aviation, marine, land and industrial applications.
Some of our facilities will achieve this target sooner, such as our production site and Defence headquarters in Bristol, UK, which is set to be the first GorWay facility to achieve net zero carbon status in 2022, which includes implementing a micro grid on the Bristol site. We are also committed to implementing our green agenda across our other Defence sites, including those in the US.
