Balfour Beatty is at the forefront of integrating hydrogen technology into the construction industry to drive decarbonisation. In a recent article, Joanna Gilroy, Group Sustainability Director, outlines key steps to accelerate hydrogen adoption while prioritising safety.
To enable the transition, Balfour Beatty advocates for:
- Clear categorisation and strategic direction – A national fuel hierarchy and consistent emissions factors for hydrogen sources to ensure sustainable decision-making.
- A hydrogen fuel levy – Economic incentives to increase the supply of green hydrogen and support the infrastructure needed for widespread adoption.
- Comprehensive safety guidance – Robust regulations and industry-wide standards to facilitate safe hydrogen deployment.
By showcasing hydrogen solutions on its sites and working collaboratively with government and industry stakeholders, Balfour Beatty is committed to making hydrogen a viable alternative to fossil fuels.
