Extreme E and ENOWA celebrated a unique milestone in motorsport at the recent Hydro X Prix in Scotland, producing 80% of the race site power with H₂ fuel cells. Using 700 kg of green H₂ supplied by ENOWA, the Official Green H₂ Power Partner of Extreme E, and fuel cell technology supplied by Kaizen Clean Energy, the Dumfries and Galloway race site was able to use the 11 megawatt-hours (MWhr) produced to support car charging, catering and event control power.

Ali Russell, Managing Director of Extreme E, said, “Extreme E’s commitment to sustainability is a key pillar of our pioneering racing series. The 11 MWhr produced across the Hydro X Prix is equivalent to the energy required to power 1,000 homes in the UK, for a day, or charge the electric vehicles at the race site more than 350 times. That is hugely impressive as we continue to highlight how green H₂ power and innovations can be best used for the long-term benefit of the planet.

“Our vision is always to bring technology to the forefront that can make a dramatic shift in how we approach sustainability to improve the planet, and Extreme E has always been a pioneer in developing innovative solutions to combat the climate crisis. This is particularly in our motorsport industry-leading race site infrastructure, including the use of green H₂ in remote locations produced by ENOWA’s H₂ fuel cell system.

“How we utilize sustainable technologies across our racing calendar demonstrates a true clean energy alternative to diesel generators.”

Robert Meaney, Co-founder of Kaizen Clean Energy, said, “Extreme E and ENOWA's foresight and commitment to advance renewable technology is a testimony to their teams' goals to produce a truly sustainable racing series.”

Extreme E has achieved 25 MWhr with green H₂ and fuel cells in its last four X Prix and plans to increase energy production further at the upcoming double-header in Sardinia.

ENOWA is the renewable energy, water and H₂ subsidiary at NEOM and, since 2022, has been a part of a pioneering and multi-year relationship with Extreme E. Kaizen Clean Energy provides integral support in order to deliver a pioneering H₂ microgrid solution to the Extreme E series. In 2025, Extreme E will evolve into Extreme H – the world’s first H₂ racing series – as the championship continues to break barriers in sustainable technologies and motorsport.
