A subsidiary of multinational building materials firm HeidelbergCement is working with researchers from Swansea University to install and operate a green hydrogen demonstration unit at a site in the U.K.
The collaboration represents another example of how firms involved in energy intensive processes are trying to find ways to maintain productivity whilst simultaneously reducing emissions.
According to Swansea University, the idea behind the Port Talbot project is to “replace some of the natural gas used at the plant with green hydrogen, which is considered a clean source of energy as it only emits water when burned.”
