Hydrogen Projects in Croydon
Croydon is actively looking at the future of hydrogen fuel cells as a sustainable energy source.
- Hydrogen projects
- Hydrogen from waste
- Portable hydrogen fuel cells
Hydrogen could provide a viable replacement for conventional fossil fuels like oil and gas. Hydrogen fuel creates no air pollution or greenhouse gases at the point of use (only water vapour and heat) and if generated by renewable sources like wind turbines, can really be described as zero emission technology.
Croydon Council is an active member of the London Hydrogen Partnership (LHP), which is working to make hydrogen fuel technology a reality in the capital and improve our air quality, reduce greenhouse gases and noise, improve energy security and support London's green economy. The objective is to lay the groundwork for a hydrogen economy, along with a refuelling infrastructure.
The council's aspiration is to make Croydon a flagship borough in the use of hydrogen fuels. Croydon is pursuing several hydrogen fuel cell projects via the LHP, including using portable hydrogen fuel cells in place of generators and trialling hydrogen-fuelled vehicles. In the longer term, we are looking at opportunities for generating hydrogen from the borough's waste.
