Events Central Goes Green

Thursday 16th January, 2020

Part of the larger Oval Space of event venues, The Pickle Factory is one of its three locations and the first to be going completely off-grid, in partnership with Transporter Energy, in its new 2020 pledge to green living.

Home to bespoke events and a true party central, The Pickle Factory has housed many live music events with its exceptional acoustics, as well as corporate events from the likes of Google, Forza, Fjord Network and Joypad. The venue, which is also used by the BBC for live recordings, is entering a new venture in 2020 with the whole venue, from lighting and security to sounds systems and all the entertainment, going green with Transporter Energy’s lithium iron phosphate batteries.

Transporter Energy is the UK seller of the world’s most efficient lithium iron phosphate batteries. These batteries are the safest and highest tested deep cycle batteries on the UK market, and the only ones to be independently tested by Intertek in the USA to the highest standard. For its project with The Pickle Factory, Transporter Energy’s lithium iron phosphate batteries will be used to replace any need for mains electricity and will be linked up to solar panels for not just a greener, but a more renewable energy source. Work at The Pickle Factory will commence late January 2020 with the other two Oval Space locations following suit in the coming months.

Justin Richardson, Technical Director at Transporter Energy, commented, “Working alongside The Pickle Factory and Oval Space as a whole is a great venture that we’re really enjoying. It’s brilliant to see such a large venue wanting to watch their footprint on this Earth and choosing to take a step towards being completely green. This also means all their events will be 0% carbon, eco friendly events which is unheard of elsewhere across the country.

“At a time where climate change and being environmentally friendly is a focal point in our media and lives in general, these are the changes that are needed to save the planet we live on.” added Justin.

Transporter Energy’s lithium iron phosphate batteries have a number of uses and can be built into bespoke projects for whatever your eco-friendly desire may be, wherever that’s off-grid living, turning an office 0% carbon or anything else.

Zip World

The World’s Fastest Zip Line Goes Completely Off-Grid

Wednesday 8th January, 2020

Exhilarating speeds, new heights and exciting adventures are what Zip World is most renowned for. But now, this acclaimed centre of fun is even more desirable with a new venture into green energy with Transporter Energy’s lithium iron phosphate batteries.

Zip World currently has three locations in Wales, with the main being in Penrhyn Quarry - once the world’s largest slate quarry and now home to the world’s fastest zip line and the world’s largest mobile zip line, along with quarry karting and quarry tours. This is the first location that Transporter Energy will be taking completely off-grid, with much of the security system already running completely free of mains electricity with environmentally-friendly Transporter Energy solutions.

Work is already in full swing and over the coming months this off-grid project will continue, with each generator being replaced by lithium iron phosphate batteries for both a cleaner and quieter energy source. Each 6kV generator currently used by Zip World produces copious amounts of CO2 emissions every hour it is running, meaning Zip World will reduce its Carbon footprint significantly with every generator that is replaced by a battery bank. By the end of the project, Transporter Energy will be powering the full mountain adventures, including the security systems and zip lines.

Whilst a green energy source is one of the most desirable reasons why Zip World has chosen this revolutionary energy source, Transporter Energy’s lithium iron phosphate batteries also allow for other green power sources such as solar and wind power to be incorporated.

Transporter Energy’s lithium iron phosphate batteries have a vast array of uses, from leisure vehicle and marine batteries, to powering emergency services and power backups, the possibilities are endless. What’s more, these batteries are far safer than any other solution out there, with no risk of explosion or overheating.

Justin Richardson, Technical Director at Transporter Energy, commented on the partnership with Zip World, “It has been an exciting year for us here at Transporter Energy with so many new projects taking off, but undoubtedly this is one of the most exciting to date. We’re thrilled to be taking these adrenaline-fuelled activities into a much greener future.

Working alongside such a world renowned company with fun at the centre of what it does, it’s amazing to see them taking a focus on renewable energy, and with the ever-growing demands of the public for green energy, it’s of paramount importance in this world we live.” added Justin.

From Scotland to South Africa and Beyond

Lithium-Iron Powering a Four Wheeled Journey Across the World

Thursday 18th July, 2019

In a promising new kit sponsorship deal, Transporter Energy will be supporting Four Wheeled Nomad, two content creators who are location independent on their latest adventure called The Mega Transect. Transporter Energy has supplied lithium-ion batteries for the vehicle, a 2015 Toyota Hilux, affectionately called White Rhino, in the all-terrain Cape to Cape venture across the globe starting in the UK through Europe and down the African continent.

Lisa Morris and Jason Spafford, the two adventurers behind Four Wheeled Nomad are media professionals; Lisa is a travel writer whilst Jason is a photographer, filmmaker and commercial drone pilot. But what makes these two unique is that they are always on location and travelling from one unique place to the next. This started on two dual sports motorcycles, when the couple branded themselves as Two Wheeled Nomad, and from 2014 to 2018 rode over 80,000 miles from Antarctica to the Artic whilst writing inspiring content and photographing the unbelievable sights along the way.

In Spring this year (2019), the duo embarked on The Mega Transect in their first 4WD. This is where Transporter Energy’s lithium-ion batteries have joined to make the journey a reliable one with no worries about power. Transporter’s lithium-ion batteries will assist in the trip starting in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland, expanding across Europe and Scandinavia to visit Germany, Sweden and Iceland among other countries, before heading down to explore the African continent and ending up in South Africa. The trip will involve travelling through every weather condition imaginable, from ice and snow to blazing heats, as well as involve navigating across some very challenging terrains such as dirt tracks, rocks, snow and ice.

Lisa commented, “Because of Transporter Energy’s unbelievable support we have the power to keep all of our smartphones, laptops, USB devices, drone batteries and more fully charged, which previously has been a huge struggle.

We’re overwhelmed by the power we now have at our disposal. It really has enabled us to set out on a self-sustaining, unassisted and independent journey,” added Lisa.

With 20x faster charging, 10x more life and 200% longer power than traditional leisure batteries, these Transporter Energy lithium-ion batteries allow for complete confidence from the Four Wheeled Nomad team in their power supplies and its reliability.

These pioneering batteries are also much safer compared to their lead acid alternatives. Lithium-ion phosphate batteries completely eliminate the risk of overheating and explosions which would be catastrophic in the White Rhino, especially in such secluded spots away from home.

What’s more, Transporter Energy’s lithium-ion batteries provide green power and each battery is 100% recyclable, allowing Lisa and Jason to protect the environment they’re travelling through which is essential on such a far-out journey.

Rob Matthews, director of Transporter Energy, commented on the sponsorship, “We’re always looking for new sponsorship and partnership opportunities and when we heard about Four Wheeled Nomad it really was the perfect partnership.

“Our lithium-ion leisure batteries are designed to last much longer than traditional batteries and provide ample power for this type of adventure, so this really gives them chance to prove themselves.

“Here at Transporter Energy we’re excited to watch the challenging journey progress and show just how well our batteries deliver in these remote environments,” added Rob.

Make some noise

That sounds like the perfect power solution!

Monday 4th March, 2019

Transporter Energy is working with events and festival company, East Staging, to provide a clean, silent alternative to noisy, polluting generators. Eight lithium-ion batteries stored in a protective container will be used as a portable power source at future events.

The battery bank will provide power for the company’s awesome Bose sound systems, as well as TV screens and other auxiliary power needs.

This system solves a number of issues usually associated with traditional petrol- or diesel-powered generators. As well as completely eliminating running noise and exhaust fumes, there is no difficulty in starting the unit, no need to refuel and no maintenance. This means that as well as reducing the impact on the local environment, it takes much less manpower to operate.

Transporter Energy lithium-ion batteries are proving the perfect solution for the company as they provide clean, silent power, which is perfect for the sort of events hosted by East Staging. As well as festivals and large-scale outdoor events, the batteries will be used to provide power at weddings in marquees for lighting, music systems and bars; the last place you would want a noisy generator throwing out fumes.

Because lithium-ion batteries can provide up to 4 times the power output of traditional lead acid batteries, this is now and effective and sustainable way to manage power supply needs in any environment. more
