Our Goal

Minimise energy waster, utilise existing infrastructure, optimise energy distribution. We are proud to offer a sustainable option in using green energy in the heart of our cities. We are committed to a cleaner, greener urban environment. We are proud to be promoting the holistic update of EV technology through technical innovation in major public infrastructure.

There are significant barriers to the introduction of Electric Vehicles within urban environments, for example:

The difficulty of providing home charging where many properties do not have off street parking (flats, terraced houses etc)
The availability of fast charging infrastructure
The capacity of the National Grid and the National Grid Insurance.

In the UK, National Grid models identify EV charging could require an additional 5-30 GW of peak demand.

In urban environments, one of the largest electricity users is Rail and Metro assets. For example, in London, The metro system, is using c1.2 terawatt-hours each year with c85% used for traction current. Approximately, the remaining 20% is inefficiently used or lost as wasted heat. The utilisation of this wasted energy as well as the night-time capacity, existing in the infrastructure when the traction is off has the potential to enable EV charging in an exceptionally efficient manner. Moreover, due to the large capacity of the rail assets, our solution can accelerate EV Fast Charging provision, not just for electric cars, but electric busses and haulage. Finally, the installation of charging points, provides commercial opportunities for unused land adjacent to the railway.

Green Energy Futures can work with you to analyse and identify the data and projections your organisation needs to justify your investment and give you confidence on ROI. We will help you meet planning regulations and even discuss ways you could use charging points to generate an income steam. We have detailed knowledge of the domain, understanding of standards, requirements and limitations of the rail infrastructure asset owners.

Supporting City Hall's Carbon Zero Ambitions

The Carbon Zero plan is centered on the reduction of energy usage and therefore energy costs, while maximising the use of green energy in preference to fossil fuels. Achieving Zero Carbon by 2030 will require significant capital investment.

Utilisation of Metro System's Power Network through this technology has the potential to:

Double the EV changing capacity across London in a more cost effective and efficient way.
Accelerate EV charging role out and therefore enable Zero Emissions Vehicle mass adoption.
Indirectly support the Clean Air initiative and help Londoners embrace the ULEZ strategy.

Contributing to the Government's Green Targets

Minimise CAPEX cost for National Grid upgrades by using existing Rail power distribution systems – enabling funds to be redirected to creating green forms of energy resulting in reduced reliance on combustion engineers.

Benefits Summary:
