Wates, a construction company, is conducting a trial using a JCB 60kVA hydrogen combustion generator to explore the potential of hydrogen fuel in construction operations. The generator, located at a site near Wolverhampton, is integrated with a 104kWh Powerpack battery storage unit, enabling the site to operate on battery power, hybrid mode, or hydrogen power alone. This initiative aims to enhance energy efficiency and offer a carbon-neutral solution to customers. The project director at Wates, Adam Cannon, expressed optimism about hydrogen as a sustainable power source, highlighting its ability to streamline site setup and reduce the need for additional infrastructure. The partnership with JCB reflects a commitment to cleaner energy and emissions reduction, aligning with environmental goals and addressing climate change challenges. The construction industry's shift towards hydrogen is seen as a crucial step in achieving zero-emission power on sites, as emphasized by Jonny Wates, director of Wates Group. The adoption of hydrogen technology is further supported by the Hydrogen Skills Alliance, which launched a framework to facilitate skills development in hydrogen technology within the construction sector. Industry experts, including Chris Dempsey from Sunbelt Rentals and Tim Burnhope from JCB, underscore the simplicity and familiarity of hydrogen-powered internal combustion technology, making it an accessible and efficient choice for construction operations. The deployment of hydrogen generators, coupled with advancements in fuel delivery and electricity production, is paving the way for a sustainable future in the construction industry.
