Motive Fuels and BAM have been awarded funding as part of Government Red Diesel Replacement scheme to design a hydrogen refuelling station suitable for the construction sector.

The project is one of 17 successful project partnerships to be awarded funding through the Red Diesel Replacement competition, which falls under the Net Zero Innovation Portfolio, after the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy provided c. £6.7m during phase one.

The H2Construction project sees Motive work in partnership with BAM, BRE, CENEX and PowerStar to develop a solution for producing green hydrogen that will provide zero carbon fuel to construction sites and will further help BAM’s decarbonisation of its construction operations.

A key part of the feasibility study will examine past and current plant fuel consumption to a high level of granularity and will cover a large portion of the UK’s plant usage thanks to insights from L.Lynch, Flannery and Machine Max. In doing this it will enable accurate forecasts to be produced and will subsequently inform the commercial case to switch to hydrogen. If successful, the project will pave the way for local production and distribution of green hydrogen for vehicles and plant without the need for major grid electricity supply upgrades
