The HS2, a high-speed railway network under construction in the U.K., reports that results from a trial carried out to test the potential air quality benefits of alternative fuels look set to help its efforts to push to cut the use of diesel and introduce low-carbon solutions on construction sites.
Balfour Beatty will not push its clients towards new zero-carbon technology, its chief executive Leo Quinn has said. Asked by an analyst at this week’s
Driven by the urgency of warnings from scientists about the climate crisis, carbon-reduction pledges have come thick and fast from contractors in recent
HS2 has ramped up its efforts to explore hydrogen as a replacement for diesel power across construction sites as it works to minimise the carbon emissions of its construction operations in line with government net-zero targets. Speaking at CN’s Decarbonising Construction conference last week, HS2 head of environmental sciences Neil Wait said the project’s pioneering use of hydrogen to fuel generators and HGVs could help move the sector towards much wider use of the alternative fuel. “It’s [about] getting used to using hydrogen, and proving it can work in a construction environment,...
