The British Compressed Gases Association annual conference in Manchester shed light on the pivotal role hydrogen can play in decarbonising the construction sector. Speakers from HyKit, a hydrogen infrastructure joint venture, showcased creative solutions aimed at making hydrogen adoption more feasible for smaller construction projects. The focus was on innovative equipment such as mobile refuellers, modular storage systems, and mobile compressor units, designed to address site limitations and enhance operational efficiency. Emphasizing the importance of clear policy guidelines and workforce development, industry experts highlighted the need for standardisation to facilitate the widespread integration of hydrogen technologies. While acknowledging challenges like hydrogen availability and cost, the emphasis was on driving down costs through sustainable practices rather than relying solely on subsidies. The overall sentiment of the conference was positive, with industry players like JCB showcasing their commitment to investing in hydrogen as a profitable and sustainable pathway forward. The call for a pragmatic approach to regulatory frameworks aimed to prevent overburdening hydrogen initiatives with excessive safety measures, ensuring a conducive environment for hydrogen innovation and adoption in the construction sector.
