Energy independence was a key theme in today’s Autumn Statement. Tim Harper shares his thoughts on the important role hydrogen is playing in facilitating energy independence, with road transport as the driving force.
St Helens Council and FAUN Zoeller yesterday announced the arrival of the UK’s first custom-built, hydrogen-fuelled waste collection vehicle, fuelled by Element 2.
Element 2 has been awarded ISO 9001-2015 and ISO 14001-2015 certifications by QMS International for its Quality Management Systems (QMS) in the provision of hydrogen refuelling services.
Andy Slater has been appointed as Element 2's new Head of Engineering and Asset Management. He will lead the firm’s engineering strategy alongside managing the safe and timely deployment and operation of Element’s portfolio of refuelling stations.
Under the multi-year agreement, XPO will begin by transporting hydrogen fuel from partner production sites to Element 2 refuelling stations in the North and Midlands regions.
The Yorkshire and Cumbria sites will become the first public service stations in the UK to provide hydrogen refuelling services for hydrogen-powered Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs).
The partnership will see Element 2 supply hydrogen fuel, hydrogen storage and hydrogen pumps at mobile and fixed hydrogen refuelling stations for Riversimple’s existing and future customers.
This is a once in a lifetime transition and we are proud to be making such positive impact and making diesel history.
Nick joins Element 2 from ExxonMobil where he spent more than 20 years in a number of senior business development, sales and marketing roles.
