DarbyTech's Visit from the Minister of State at the Department for Business and Trade

The Minister's Visit to Wilton

Recently, a high-level delegation consisting of Nigel Huddleston, Minister of State at the Department for Business and Trade, Julie Underwood from the Department for Business and Trade, and Jacob Young, MP for Redcar, paid a visit to DarbyTech at the Wilton Centre to discuss the net-zero future of Teesside. During their visit, they had discussions with DarbyTech's Directors, Gary Lawson, and Russell Holmes, about the company's pioneering efforts in developing universal training equipment that can impart skills applicable to both the traditional oil and gas industry and the renewable energy sector.

DarbyTech is currently in the process of producing a range of industry-standard clean energy demonstrators and trainers, designed to offer engineering students a safe and authentic learning experience. Mr. Lawson explained to the visitors that the training equipment would enable aspiring engineers to acquire the necessary skills required to work in the clean energy sector, which is of growing importance as we strive towards a more sustainable future. This is particularly significant for the North East region, which has historically been associated with heavy industry and fossil fuels.

Ms. Underwood commented that DarbyTech is a great example of a business that has grasped overseas opportunities and used the support available through the Department for Business and Trade to secure sales in the US and Middle East. Their demonstrators are leading the way in developing the skills needed for a career in the clean energy sector and help achieve the Net Zero ambition.

The Net Zero Teesside project envisages the transformation of the region's existing industrial infrastructure to support a low-carbon future. The initiative includes the capture of CO2 emissions from industrial processes and their transportation to a storage location beneath the North Sea, where they will be securely stored to prevent them from entering the atmosphere. The captured CO2 will also be used in various industrial applications, such as the production of chemicals and fertilisers.

The project is expected to create thousands of jobs and attract millions of pounds in investment to the region, thus contributing to the revitalization of the local economy. It is also expected to play a critical role in the UK's efforts to achieve its net-zero emissions target by 2050, as the Teesside region is responsible for a significant proportion of the UK's industrial emissions.

DarbyTech is presently working on producing its first Carbon Capture demonstrator, which will be launched this summer at Redcar and Cleveland College's Clean Energy Hub. The demonstrator will showcase the latest technologies in carbon capture and storage, which will be critical in achieving net-zero emissions in the future.

Redcar Cleveland College's Clean Energy Hub will be an essential asset for the region, providing training opportunities for people to learn about renewable energy and the latest technologies in the field. The hub will also provide access to state-of-the-art equipment, offering young people the opportunity to develop the skills required to work in the growing renewable energy sector.

Mr. Huddleston commended DarbyTech's efforts and stated that it was encouraging to see companies like DarbyTech taking steps toward a more sustainable future. Mr. Young echoed Mr. Huddleston's sentiments and emphasised the need for the North East to embrace clean energy to secure its economic future. He also highlighted the importance of creating training opportunities for people to develop the necessary skills required to work in the industry.

Hydrogen – The Future of Energy

The global economy is currently reliant upon fossil fuels but their use produces colossal amounts of chemical pollutants, especially greenhouse gases. The use of fossil fuels is unsustainable and must be reduced; a number of solutions have been considered. Attention has centred upon the renewable electrification of previously greenhouse gas-emitting activities, particularly for transportation. However for most industrial applications chemical-based fuels are favoured, due to their higher energy densities. Synthetic fuels and biofuels have potential however they currently suffer from similar problems as fossil fuels, since they result in the emissionSEE DETAILS </spa...
