Announced today, this prestigious accolade celebrates the company’s flagship Hydrogen Power Unit (HPU), a breakthrough in zero-emission energy that is already displacing fossil fuels across construction, film and TV, events, EV charging, and critical infrastructure sectors.

Founded in 2019 and growing across the UK and Europe, GeoPura is at the forefront of the UK’s transition to clean energy. Its HPUs use green hydrogen, produced from renewable electricity, to deliver reliable, zero-emission power anywhere it’s needed -from 50kW to 50MW, providing power where the electricity grid is not available or sufficient. The only by-product is water and heat, no carbon emissions, no air pollutants, and no particulate matter, making it a powerful alternative to fossil and even biofuels like HVO.

More than just a diesel generator replacement, GeoPura’s HPUs offer limitless, flexible access to renewable power, helping customers unlock grid constraints, decarbonise operations, and keep essential systems running, no matter how remote or demanding the application.

The public health benefits are significant. Air pollution, especially from diesel engines, is linked to heart and lung disease and contributes to tens of thousands of premature deaths in the UK each year. By removing diesel from construction sites, film sets, and busy event spaces, GeoPura’s technology helps protect the health of workers, visitors, and surrounding communities.

GeoPura’s HPUs have already powered live BBC broadcasts for its popular Springwatch and Winterwatch series, enabled zero-emission blockbuster productions, delivered off-grid EV charging for fleets including the Ministry of Defence, and provided resilient power for live events and festivals. On construction projects like Viking Link, in partnership with Siemens Energy, and with customers such as HS2, Balfour Beatty, and BAM, the HPUs are cutting emissions and supporting cleaner, quieter, low-carbon site strategies while significantly reducing noise and harmful emissions.

Andrew Cunningham, CEO and Founder of GeoPura, said:

“We’re incredibly proud to receive the King’s Award for Enterprise. It’s a powerful recognition of the hard work, innovation, and commitment of the entire GeoPura team.

At a time when the need for clean, reliable energy has never been greater, this award supports the urgent shift to green hydrogen and zero-emission fuels, helping phase out polluting fuels like diesel, petrol, and HVO that damage health and harm the environment.

Our HPUs are already proving that it’s possible to deliver limitless access to renewable electricity, wherever and whenever it’s needed, cutting carbon, improving air quality, and helping organisations accelerate their journey to net zero.

As a company born and growing in the East Midlands, a region with a proud industrial heritage, it’s an honour to be recognised on a national stage and to be creating skilled jobs and opportunities right here in our local communities.”

Andrew was previously awarded the Prince of Wales Award for Innovation by His Majesty King Charles III (then HRH Prince Charles) in 1991. This latest recognition under The King’s Awards for Enterprise marks a new chapter in his commitment to UK-led clean tech innovation.

The King’s Awards for Enterprise, now in their 59th year, are the UK’s most prestigious business awards. Renamed in 2023 to reflect His Majesty The King’s wish to continue HM Queen Elizabeth II’s legacy, the award allows recipients to display the King’s Awards Emblem for five years - a globally recognised mark of excellence and leadership. GeoPura is one of just 197 organisations nationally to receive this award in 2025.
