North West Hydrogen Alliance focuses On Low-Carbon Transportation
The title of this post is the same as that of this article on Gasworld.
This is an extract.
A study is currently underway to look at the feasibility of using hydrogen produced at chemical company INOVYN’s Runcorn site to power buses on the street of Liverpool.
It was also recently announced the Liverpool City Region will become the first area in the North of England to trial hydrogen buses following a £6.4m government funding bid, with a new refuelling station at BOC’s hydrogen plant in St Helens.
INOVYN is owned by INEOS, so are they getting involved with hydrogen?
I knew that site well in the late 1960s, when I worked there in the chlorine cell rooms, that made hydrogen and chlorine by electroysing brine.
Life goes round in circles.
I heard some in those days, say hydrogen was a bit of a problem! Now it’s a valuable resource.
But I always remember a senior engineer, saying the only waster products that should come out of a chemical plant was pure water.
