National Highways and Galliford Try are testing a green hydrogen fuel cell generator to power a construction compound in Bootle, Merseyside. This pilot replaces traditional diesel generators with a zero-emissions alternative for temporary power in areas without grid access. The project focuses on reducing Scope 3 emissions and noise pollution during road safety improvements. By utilizing hydrogen, the trial demonstrates a practical path toward decarbonizing heavy construction sites where electrification via the grid is not feasible.
