London Readies for Hydrogen-powered Transport: Report

In the wake of the increasing awareness among logistics providers about their carbon footprint, the coming years might see an enormous demand for hydrogen-powered vehicles soon turning into a big problem.

As per a recent report by Link 51- the leading storage solutions supplier , sustainable development, climate change and energy conservation are amongst the top priorities among most supply chain bosses. Therefore, it comes as an excellent welcome news that London and the south-east will soon see the installation of the first hydrogen fuelling stations, as part of an endeavour to create the govt.'s so-called "integrated hydrogen transport network".

Funded by the Technology Strategy Board, the LHNE (London Hydrogen Network Expansion) project is expected to make way for a "state-of-the-art fast-fill 700 bar renewable hydrogen fuelling station network". It is expected that, as a result of this project, the sustainable fuel powered transport vehicles will likely take over the country's supply chain running.

As commercially available hydrogen-powered vehicles are all set to hit the market in coming years, manufacturers of car are fast opting for 700-bar fuelling stations' installation countrywide. If rolled out nationwide, this plan has the potential to change transport manager job's nature in the UK. In the meantime, the govt. has been working towards resolving the confusion concerning the award of contracts for running its rail service franchises.
