Scottish company developing office to run on alternative power sources
The Business Environment Partnership is working on developing an environmentally friendly office building which runs on alternative power sources. According to the Scotsman, the building will cost around 3.2 million dollars, and will run on two wind turbines, solar panels and hydrogen fuel cells where excess electricity will be stored in the form of hydrogen collected during rainy days. Although the building will be connected to the power grid, BEP officials expect to generate more power than they use. "It is designed to demonstrate that, with renewable and hydrogen energy, you can meet the energy needs of an office of this size," said project manager Derek Mitchell.

Original news summary: (http://news.webindia123.com/news/showdetails.asp?id=80344&n_date=20050501&cat=World)
- The world's first environment friendly office block, powered by wind, rain and sun is to be built in Scotland.
- According to the Scotsman the 3.2 million dollar Hydrogen Office will generate its own electricity using two wind turbines, solar panels and hydrogen fuel cells.
- The fuel cells enable excess electricity to be stored in the form of hydrogen made from water possibly collected in a rain barrel - and then used during dark, windless days.
- The office will house the headquarters of the Business Environment Partnership, which is behind the scheme, and space will be offered to small start-up businesses.
- It will have about 70 desks with computers, all powered by the building's own internal sources, in an open-plan layout of some 1,000 square metres.
- The building will be linked to the national electricity grid to ensure power supplies, but its designers expect that the office will generate more energy than it uses.
- "It is designed to demonstrate that with renewable and hydrogen energy you can meet the energy needs of an office of this size," project manager Derek Mitchell said.
- "We are all aware that renewable energy has a vital role to play in combating climate change and ensuring a secure supply of power for generations to come.
- The Hydrogen Office will be a practical, working example of how renewable sources such as hydrogen can power whole buildings in an efficient, clean and environmentally-friendly way," he added.
