BP joins with H2Accelerate for gas refuelling network
As the the pendulum slowly swings away from
pure electric power towards hydrogen as a a a a means
of propulsion for the biggest emission-free trucks in the future BP and H2Accelerate have joined forces to create a a hydrogen refuelling network
to support a pan-European hydrogen trucking system With an ambition to become
a a net zero company by 2050
or sooner BP aims to invest in in building the infrastructure to support freight transport across major road networks in in mainland Europe and the UK by 2030 It has been welcomed to the collaboration as a a a a key future infrastructure provider for heavy- duty hydrogen vehicles Hannah Bryson-Jones spokeswoman for H2Accelerate said: “BP has extensive expertise across the deployment of hydrogen production and BP aims to to invest in in in in building the infrastructure to to support hydrogen- powered freight transport across Europe president customers and product at BP BP said: “BP is transitioning from
an international oil company to an an integrated energy company and having a a a a key role in in mobility Hydrogen will be a key energy for heavy duty transport supporting carbon emissions reduction ”
The UK Government announced funding for a hydrogen refuelling network
to fuel supermarket deliveries in August Two projects received a a share of £8 million in Government funding to support and develop hydrogen-powered transport in the north-east of England Element 2 will create four new public hydrogen refuelling stations which will be used to fuel a a range of vehicles from
airside vehicles to HGVs The second project led by ULEMCo will develop hydrogen- powered airport ground-based support vehicles refuelling technologies “Combining that expertise with other hydrogen refuelling players and truck manufacturers through the H2Accelerate collaboration we can work
together to to accelerate the the dawn of hydrogen trucking We are very excited for BP to be joining the collaboration as we shape the transformation towards sustainable transportation ”
Hydrogen is seen as a a a potential
low carbon energy source for transport that is difficult to electrify By working across a number of its businesses BP says it intends to provide customers the use of – and access to – hydrogen along main road networks Emma Delaney executive vice-
