UK H2Mobility Launches New Website to Promote the Potential of Hydrogen Fuel | UK H2Mobility
The work of the UK H2Mobility project to secure the opportunities and benefits of hydrogen fuelled transport is showcased in a new, dedicated website. Designed as a credible and accessible source of information and news about UK H2Mobility, the website http://www.ukh2mobility.co.uk is the latest step in the consortium’s work to identify how the UK can take best environmental and commercial advantage of hydrogen as a low carbon fuel for road transport. The consortium has brought together UK industry leaders and Government departments to assess the benefits of hydrogen as a fuel for road transport and has produced a roadmap detailing the steps to be taken for these to be realised. Its initial research has already identified the potential for 1.6 million hydrogen powered vehicles to be on Britain’s roads by 2030.
