A new, zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell, providing clean temporary power at council events in the London boroughs of Camden and Croydon, has been unveiled.
The project, funded by Transport for London and the two councils, was showcased at London City Hall, where the fuel cell powered a roadside vehicle emission-testing unit. The fuel cell will replace traditional generators. The fuel will come from Camden’s new hydrogen fuelling depot in York Way – the first local authority-owned hydrogen-fuelling facility in the country.
Councillor Chris Knight, executive member for environment for Camden council, said: ‘We are really excited about this new technology, which is a zero-emission alternative to many of today’s generators which can be dirtier and noisier than vehicles.’
