During the two day event, between Tuesday the 20th and Wednesday 21st, PURE gave an exhibition into their efforts in the lobby of the Scottish Parliament at Holyrood, Edinburgh. The display, also on behalf of the Scottish Hydrogen and Fuel Cells Association, and the Community Energy Company, attracted mass attention from a range of MSPs interested in learning of the latest technology.

Concurrently, PURE’s hydrogen powered vehicle, the only road legal hydrogen vehicle in the UK, was on display in Our Dynamic Earth, nearby. Whilst in Our Dynamic Earth, the vehicle was the focus of 100s of children’s attention, each asking the same question: “Why are we not driving these cars now?”

On Tuesday evening, PURE’s Sandy Macaulay presented on the community benefits of small renewable energy systems to a group of MSPs, outlining the importance of initiatives in the same vein as PURE.
As a parting display of the success of the PURE Project and its ongoing work, Transport Minister, Tavish Scott MSP drove the emission free PURE car from Holyrood up the Royal Mile to Bute House in Charlotte Square for the weekly cabinet meeting.

Commenting on the success of the trip, PURE’s Sandy Macaulay stated: “This visit stimulated a great deal of interest in the technology for replacing fossil fuel vehicles in public car pools, to hydrogen powered alternatives”.
