Work has officially begun on the construction of a hydrogen refuelling station at Teesside International Airport in the Northeast of England. This initiative, backed by £8 million in funding from the UK Government, is part of the broader Tees Valley Hydrogen Transport Hub project. The station's purpose is to facilitate the use of hydrogen in various transportation modes, including trucks, vans, cars, and airport vehicles for trials. The development of hydrogen-powered airport ground vehicles, such as aeroplane tow trucks and runway sweepers, is also planned as part of this hub. Element 2, the organization behind the station's construction, has further intentions to establish three additional refuelling stations in the region. Tees Valley Mayor, Ben Houchen, has expressed optimism about the project, underscoring the region's ambition to lead in sustainable and innovative industries. The station is expected to be operational by spring after completion of construction, installation, and commissioning, marking a significant step towards a greener and more resilient transportation sector.
