GeoPura was founded on Clean Air Day in 2019 with a goal to cut harmful emissions by delivering clean, reliable power where it’s needed most. Six years on, that mission has never been more urgent.
A new report from the Royal College of Physicians (RCP), covered in The Guardian, highlights the growing public health threat of air pollution in the UK. Toxic air is linked to over 500 premature deaths every week and affects nearly every organ in the body. It’s connected to cancer, heart disease, stroke, dementia, and mental health conditions. The wider impact exceeds £500 million a week in NHS costs and lost productivity, with 99% of the UK population still breathing unsafe air.

Diesel Generator Pollution: A Major but Overlooked Contributor
When we think about air pollution, road transport often dominates the conversation. But diesel generators used for off-grid and backup power are a major source of emissions, especially in construction, broadcasting, live events, and temporary infrastructure.
These generators emit high levels of CO₂, nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particulate matter – all of which contribute to poor air quality, respiratory illness, and climate change.
Hydrogen Generators: A Proven, Zero-Emission Alternative
GeoPura’s Hydrogen Power Units (HPUs) provide a clean, scalable solution to diesel generator use across the UK and Europe. These hydrogen generators are already powering construction sites, major events, live TV broadcasts, defence operations, and infrastructure projects – all without the harmful emissions.
A self-charging battery – each HPU contains a hydrogen fuel cell that generates electricity and recharges an integrated battery, which supplies power to the end user. The only emission? Water.
Key benefits of GeoPura’s hydrogen generators:
- Zero emissions at point of use: No CO₂, NOx, or particulate matter
- Quiet operation: Ideal for urban sites, overnight work, and sensitive environments
- Reliable and scalable: Works across varied load profiles and energy demands
- Off-grid ready: Provides power without relying on the national grid
- Supports EV and battery charging: Enables cleaner plant use on site
- Grid integration: Supplements the grid in constrained or high-demand areas
Whether for temporary, mobile, or backup use, our hydrogen generators deliver dependable zero-emission power wherever it’s needed.
Scaling Clean Hydrogen Power Across Sectors
We’re already working with the BBC, Balfour Beatty, the Ministry of Defence, HS2 and many others to replace diesel and improve air quality on live sites.
GeoPura is now scaling up production and delivery of our hydrogen generators, in collaboration with Siemens Energy, to meet rising demand across the UK and Europe. As regulations tighten and awareness of diesel generator pollution increases, more businesses are seeking long-term, sustainable power alternatives.
Talk to Us About Replacing Diesel Generators with Hydrogen
Air pollution isn’t just an environmental challenge – it’s a public health emergency. If your organisation still relies on diesel for backup, mobile or temporary power, now is the time to switch to a cleaner, safer alternative.
