Making the talk a reality! I’ve been privileged to attend and speak at a number of events about decarbonisation recently, but last week at the SevernNet Breakfast, hosted alongside Molson Equipment, we had the opportunity to show how we're making a tangible contribution. Plantforce, alongside our partners in the Element1 consortium, shared the journey of bringing hydrogen combustion to UK construction sites. Is hydrogen combustion the answer to the decarbonisation challenge? Yes—but it’s only one part of the solution, working alongside a range of other technologies and fuels. As my colleague Henry Moore pointed out, 'Don’t let perfection get in the way of progress’. Exciting times ahead as we continue to drive sustainable innovation in the industry!" Give the Plantforce page a follow to see how the machine performs in the field over the coming weeks.
