There was no comfort for residents feeling betrayed by the council
RAF Coningsby’s Typhoon fleet will now be powered by electric ground units, cutting costs by 80% and harmful emissions by 90% in the process.
These new sustainable units will deliver power for Typhoon jets at RAF Coningsby and RAF Lossiemouth, and they offer environmental and financial benefits in equal measure.Using electric rather than diesel offers a 95% reduction in NOX fumes and a 90% drop in CO2 emissions, while also only costing £3 an hour and requiring just an eight hour charge period to power the jet for up to a week.
Over 40% of the CO2 footprint from Typhoon ground operations comes from the diesel units, so this transition will almost eradicate those emissions. “Not only will the new ground power units reduce the environmental impact of operations, we are also lowering the cost of running the UK Typhoon fleet, with each new electric ground power unit costing £340k less to run over a 10 year period.”
