Gallagher Group Host Hydrogen Fuel Trial At Hermitage Quarry

The title of this post is the same as that of this article on Agg-Net.

This is the sub-heading.

Landmark plant trial in collaboration with Lower Thames Crossing, JCB, and Ryze Power

These two paragraphs add more detail.

As part of their journey to Net Zero by 2050, Gallagher Group recently hosted a landmark hydrogen-powered plant trial at their Hermitage Quarry, in Kent, in collaboration with the Lower Thames Crossing (LTC) project, JCB, and Ryze Power.

The trial represents a major step forward for the Lower Thames Crossing’s ambition to eliminate diesel use from its construction sites by 2027, and Gallagher Group said they were honoured to provide the setting for LTC’s first successful trial of low-carbon, hydrogen combustion-powered machinery – a JCB 540-180H Loadall.

I like the way that the JCB is not in its traditional bright yellow, but a much softer green.

It must be so much better to work on a site like Sizewell C or the Lower Thames Crossing, if they are low-carbon or even carbon and pollution-free.
