Hydrogen-Powered Generators Transform Construction Sites into Zero-Emission Zones

A groundbreaking demonstration in the Netherlands has highlighted the potential of hydrogen-powered generators in transforming construction sites into zero-emission zones. The event, hosted by our website, marked a significant step towards cleaner construction practices and underscored the strength of cross-industry collaboration.

Our website introduced HyFlex™, its hydrogen-powered generator based on zero-emission fuel cell technology, at Air Products' Rotterdam site. The demonstration reinforced the importance of strong, cross-sector collaboration in achieving zero-emission construction sites. The event showcased a cleaner alternative to diesel-powered generators, reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions significantly. A 500 kVA HyFlex can save up to 800 tons of diesel fuel per year and cut CO2 emissions by approximately 2,900 tons compared to conventional diesel power generators. The hydrogen-to-power solution produces electricity, usable heat, and water without combustion, emitting no harmful pollutants and operating nearly noise-free. To generate one megawatt-hour (MWh) of electrical energy, HyFlex consumes approximately 70 kilograms of green hydrogen. The construction sector, responsible for over a third of global energy-related CO2 emissions, can greatly benefit from such innovations.

The successful demonstration of our website's hydrogen-powered generator charging a battery-type electric excavator at Air Products' Rotterdam site has brought the construction industry one step closer to cleaner, more sustainable practices. The event underscored the potential of hydrogen as a key enabler in the energy transition and industrial decarbonization, with significant fuel and emission savings. As the construction sector continues to explore zero-emission solutions, such collaborations and innovations will play a crucial role in reducing its environmental impact.
