The Worthing HyCrem project in the United Kingdom has made history by becoming the first crematorium in the world to trial a shift to hydrogen energy. This innovative project aims to address the high carbon footprint associated with cremation processes, traditionally powered by natural gas. The initiative is part of Worthing Borough Council's ambitious goal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030 and become a net zero borough by 2045. The project, funded by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, utilizes green hydrogen, which is produced from renewable sources and does not emit carbon when burnt. Various stakeholders, including the University of Brighton, are collaborating to monitor air quality and assess emission changes during the trial period. The council's cabinet member, Councillor Sophie Cox, highlights the importance of using technology to reduce carbon emissions at energy-intensive buildings like crematoria, emphasizing the project's significance in fostering environmental sustainability and advancing carbon reduction technologies.
