GeoPura was proud to provide zero-emission power for the production of Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale. Our Hydrogen Power Unit (HPU), fuelled by green hydrogen, replaced traditional diesel generators to supply reliable, clean electricity to the unit base during filming. The system was well received by the cast and crew, with several stopping by to see the hydrogen generator in action.
Clean power for film and TV production
Productions in the film and television industry often rely on diesel generators, which are noisy, polluting, and disruptive on set. GeoPura’s hydrogen generators for film and TV provide a sustainable alternative.
Our HPUs:
- Deliver reliable and consistent power with no harmful emissions — only water vapour
- Operate quietly, improving on-set conditions for cast and crew
- Reduce carbon emissions and improve local air quality compared to diesel
- Integrate with battery systems for maximum efficiency and resilience
- Support mobile EV charging for production vehicles on site and at studios
These benefits make hydrogen power an ideal solution for unit bases, location shoots, studios, and broadcast events where clean, dependable energy is essential.
Sustainable film production in practice
Working with sustainability consultants Picture Zero, the production adopted a wide range of measures to cut emissions and waste. Alongside GeoPura’s hydrogen generator, the team introduced EV charging, renewable fuels, reusable catering materials, and donations of surplus sets and props. This project demonstrates how sustainable film production can be achieved without compromising performance.
