Sheffield’s polluted air is rarely out of the news – whether it’s the latest shock figures, missed EU targets or premature deaths.
Yet despite the hand wringing, the air we breathe appears to be under constant attack – from old buses and trucks blasting out fumes, to rows of idling black cabs, to the thousands of ‘rigged’ VW diesels still on our streets.
Sheffield’s polluted air is rarely out of the news – whether it’s the latest shock figures, missed EU targets or premature deaths. Yet despite the hand wringing, the air we breathe appears to be under constant attack – from old buses and trucks blasting out fumes, to rows of idling black cabs, to the thousands of ‘rigged’ VW diesels still on our streets.
But one company has the technology and the ambition to blow the smog away forever. In fact Sheffield could have the cleanest air of any city in the country, according to Graham Cooley boss of ITM Power plc (LON:ITM).
How? The zero emission miracle that is hydrogen.
ITM Power makes refuelling stations which run electricity through water, splitting it into hydrogen and oxygen.
