In a bid to tackle air pollution, the British Compressed Gases Association (BCGA) is calling for more action to give public and private sector motorists access to hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles in the UK.
The national trade body said the vehicles are in pole position to make an immediate impact on air quality, but without a national fuelling infrastructure in place, their use will be limited in the UK.
A major Clean Air Summit was held in London last week (14th Feb) which called on politicians to put a stop to air pollution by signing up to new powers and funding for local leaders in the form of a £1.5bn government fund to take polluting vehicles off the UK’s streets and improve air quality.
PowerHouse Energy (LON:PHE) has developed a proprietary process technology called DMG® which can use waste plastic end-of-life-tyres and other waste streams to convert them into cost efficient energy in the form of electricity and ultra clean hydrogen gas fuel for use in cars and commercial vehicles (FCEV: Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles) and other industrial uses. The PowerHouse technology is the world’s first proven, modular hydrogen from waste (HfW) process.
