Tees Valley is set to become home to what is claimed to be UK’s first hydrogen transport hub.
Government has today announced a new £3 million investment to kickstart the project that could create up to 5,000 new jobs in the North East.
The hub, which is expected to be fully operational by 2025, will bring together policymakers, industry and academia to focus on research of hydrogen technologies.
Pop-up trials could see local shops, supermarkets and retailers use hydrogen-powered transport to move goods.
It could also see local transport operators working with the transport research and development sector to deliver emission-free hydrogen passenger services, including on-demand regional buses or zero-emission refuse vehicles.
