全球首个清洁电力试点项目为布里斯托尔 Forwards 音乐节供电

本周末，英国布里斯托尔 Forwards 音乐节在 Clifton Down 的两个舞台将几乎完全由绿色电力驱动，成为全球首个由公共资金和政治支持推动的清洁电力试点项目（CPP） 1。其中，主舞台由 GeoPura 搭建的紧凑型氢能发电设备驱动，唯一副产物为纯水 1。第二舞台及其他区域则由可再生能源供电的电池单元驱动，并以氢化植物油（HVO）发电机作为备用 1。

该清洁电力试点计划由 Act 1.5 与 Massive Attack 等发起，由西英格兰市长联合管理局提供资金支持，并获绿党主导的布里斯托尔市议会支持 1。此前，CPP 已为包括布里斯托尔热气球节在内的约12场活动及电视剧《Mavis Eccleston》等影视拍摄供电，并计划向英格兰其他地区推广 1。Act 1.5 制作人 Mark Donne 称该项目“在全球范围内没有任何可比项目，在规模、设计或跨行业采购与协作方面均无先例” 1。Massive Attack 成员 Robert Del Naja 表示，该项目旨在推动系统性变革，为布里斯托尔所有大型音乐节及影视制作留下永久性脱碳遗产 1。

This weekend, the Forwards festival at Clifton Down in Bristol will feature two stages powered almost entirely by green electricity, utilizing a combination of hydrogen and mobile batteries charged by sustainable energy 1. This initiative represents the world's first clean power pilot project (CPP) propelled by public funding and political backing 1. The project was launched by Act 1.5 and Massive Attack, receiving financial support from the West of England Mayor's Combined Authority and endorsement from the Green-led Bristol City Council 1.

Technically, the main stage operates on compact hydrogen power generation equipment constructed by GeoPura, yielding pure water as its sole byproduct 1. The second stage and surrounding areas rely on battery units charged by renewable energy, supplemented by hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) generators for backup power 1. Prior to this festival, the CPP has already powered approximately a dozen events, such as the Bristol Balloon Fiesta and the television drama "Mavis Eccleston," and organizers plan to extend the initiative to other regions in England 1.

Highlighting the project's unprecedented nature, Act 1.5 producer Mark Donne stated, "There is no comparable project anywhere in the world, in terms of scale, design, or cross-industry procurement and collaboration" 1. Additionally, Massive Attack member Robert Del Naja noted that the endeavor is designed to catalyze systemic change, aiming to establish a permanent decarbonization legacy for all major music festivals and film productions across Bristol 1.
