Two miles of renewable energy arrives in Belgium

Energy
June 6th, 2011

Enfinity, a leading renewable energy company based in Belgium have just completed work on a two-mile-long rail tunnel by installing 16,000 solar panels.

The high-speed rail tunnel which is on the Paris-Amsterdam line was originally built to prevent the need to fell protected trees from protected woodland which lay either side of train tracks.

It is the perfect way to help reduce the carbon footprint, it uses space that has no economic value and cannot be built on and the electricity that will be produced from the solar panels will be the equivalent to powering Antwerp Train Station and all the Belgium high-speed trains for one day per year.
