ESB\u2019s Hydrogen Power\u00a0Units were previously deployed at last year\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.europeantour.com\/dpworld-tour\/amgen-irish-open-2025\/\">Amgen\u00a0Irish\u00a0Open<\/a> at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.royalcountydown.org\/\">Royal County Down Golf Club<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The renewable energy trial on KFD is the result of\u00a0a collaboration between the ESB, GeoPura and Spellmaker Productions. The project receives <a href=\"https:\/\/www.screenireland.ie\/\">Screen Ireland<\/a> funding and is supported through the Sustainability Consultancy provided by Ecoscope. This will be the first-time hydrogen power will be used on a film set in Ireland, a renewable energy trial undertaken by an independent Irish production company and the first time the gap has been bridged between industry and academia on renewable energy applications in the film industry globally as DCU is also involved in the project. (Dr. James Carton).\u00a0Previously, GeoPura\u2019s Hydrogen Power Units\u00a0have provided power to <a href=\"https:\/\/geopura-2tva.temp-dns.com\/sectors\/film-tv\/\">Film and TV<\/a> broadcasting in the UK and abroad.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ESB has launched new hydrogen power generation demonstration fuel cells to showcase what is the first deployment of green\u00a0hydrogen to electricity for film production in Ireland. The units are produced by GeoPura, a UK-based renewable energy company, and their partner, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.siemens-energy.com\/global\/en\/home.html\">Siemens Energy<\/a>. The Hydrogen Power Unit can support the network by using fuel cell technology, converting clean hydrogen to electricity, to supply up to 250kW of clean power when required, with the only by-product being pure water.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a net-zero world where Ireland has large volumes of renewables, converting renewable energy into green hydrogen and storing it for use in periods when the sun is not shining and wind is not blowing will be extremely beneficial. The deployment of electrolysers (electricity and water to hydrogen) and fuel cells (hydrogen to electricity) enables this conversion process and also\u00a0aligns with the goals of the Irish Government\u2019s National Hydrogen Strategy.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alexandra de Valera (Associate Producer of KFD and Director of Ecoscope)\u00a0 commented: \u201cTo be on as Associate Producer and be in a position to deploy Irish film industry\u2019s \u2019s first application of Green Hydrogen power at industry level has been one of my proudest and most rewarding experiences to date and only made possible by the collaboration of Spellmaker Productions and meaningful support of all stakeholders, including the creative team, cast and crew. Every day on set, we feel we are actively making a difference and supporting the national decarbonisation roadmap. This speaks to the Irish Film Industry\u2019s resilience and capabilities to adapt, and I hope this serves as a model for future carbon-reducing innovations and developments in the sector.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About Kung Fu Deadly<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Filming began in Dublin and County Meath, Ireland on <em><strong>Kung Fu Deadly\u00a0 mid February,\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>a martial arts supernatural action comedy produced by Paddy McDonald (Predesination) and Nicholas Cooper (Zombie Plane )\u00a0 Irishman Paddy McDonald also\u00a0\u00a0wrote the script.\u00a0The Irish\/Australian co-production is directed by Fergal Costello (BAFTA winner for <em>Brain In Gear<\/em>), and concerns two hapless pest controllers who are thrust into mortal danger when they accidentally tranquillise a Taoist hunter of Chinese undead aka \u201cJiangshi\u201d who are spreading through the city.
