Tony Lelliott: “Hydrogen has the potential to revolutionise most areas of the country” - Accelerating the Green Energy Transition with a Hydrogen Le Mans Race Car | Season 1, Episode 4

Welcome to an exciting episode of The Challenge With Green Energy where we discuss ditching the fumes while keeping the thrills...

 

This podcast episode shifts gears into the future of motorsports with Tony Lelliott, Director of Tees Valley Motorsports and their hydrogen-powered race cars. Tony, the man behind the wheel of this innovation, has his sights set on Le Mans and beyond, hoping to ignite a cleantech revolution.

 

But, it's not just about speed. 

 

Hosted by Elizabeth Simon, she and Tony get straight into the battling misconceptions about hydrogen, and how Tees Valley Motorsports are proactively bringing educational tours to schools and colleges to prove it's safe and versatile. You can expect to hear all about the hydrogen race car Tees Valley Motorsports is working on, ready to zoom into action later this year pending safety approvals. 

 

In this episode, Tony doesn't shy away from sharing his opinions on the broader challenges of green energy, including challenges around investment, greenwashing, nuclear energy and the hydrogen rainbow.

 

While the road to a greener UK auto industry isn't smooth sailing, Tony and Lizzie also explore hydrogen's potential not just for cars, but as a fuel source, energy storage solution, and even fertiliser producer! 

 

The episode ends with a revving promise: a chance for listeners to test drive the hydrogen race car themselves and experience the future of clean racing firsthand.
