Hydrogen Refuelling Site Could Attract Businesses To City – Meeting Told
The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on Yahoo News.
These are the first three paragraphs.
A hydrogen fuelling station planned for Bradford could play a key part in attracting new businesses to the city – councillors have been told.
The HyBradford facility is due to open on a former gas storage site off Bowling Back Lane in 2025, and late last year the scheme received millions worth of Government funding.
It is hoped the scheme will make Bradford a leader in the new, greener energy at a time when many companies are looking to wean themselves off fossil fuels.
What sort of businesses will the City attract?
- In Cadent’s Hydrogen-Hybrid Solar Toilet, I talked about how the sun and hydrogen backup are used to provide quiet, zero-carbon facilities for a building site.
- In Cummins Agrees To Integrate Its Hydrogen ICE Technology Into Terex® Advance Trucks, I talked about hydrogen-powered ready-mixed concrete trucks. These will help to reduce pollution levels on building sites and city streets and a local electrolyser would allow ready-mixed concrete suppliers to be located conveniently, where major contracts are in city centres.
- In £77 Million Investment For UK Heavy Duty And Commercial Vehicle Projects, I talked about a series of hydrogen transport projects being developed with Government and industry money. One project was one by Ford to develop a hydrogen-powered Transit van, which will be trialled by Ocado. If these catch on, then we will need more convenient electrolysers.
Bradford could be the first city, where companies try out ideas, that need a reliable supply of hydrogen.
It should also be noted that Bradford and Leeds are about fifteen miles apart, so Bradford’s electrolyser will probably be an ideal location for any business based in the Leeds/Bradford area.
