Lower Thames Crossing (LTC) has launched a new market engagement exercise to find a low carbon hydrogen supplier for its £9bn road and tunnel project after a previous attempt failed to reach a successful conclusion. The contract price has increased to a maximum of £80M, and the required hydrogen amount has decreased to 5,900t. The project, aimed at easing congestion on the Dartford Crossing, is a carbon neutral construction 'pathfinder' project, with the government committed to reaching net zero by 2050. LTC's strategy involves reducing diesel usage by using hydrogen-powered machinery. The project has already awarded contracts and plans to publish an official tender on 18 October. LTC is dedicated to changing infrastructure development in the UK for a net zero future.
