Shropshire Council joins Hydrogen Valley Consortium

Shropshire Council has signed up to be part of the Hydrogen Valley Consortium to improve the nation’s energy security and reduce carbon.

The Hydrogen Valley is being delivered in collaboration by Cadent and National Gas Transmission who are working together to create a clear roadmap and vision to kickstart a hydrogen economy across the West Midlands and East of England region. This involves investigating the demand for hydrogen which will help identify the need for developing the necessary infrastructure to support this.

Shropshire Council, which is already exploring the opportunity of developing a small-scale demonstrator unit to produce hydrogen for use in HGVs, is keen to develop further green energy options for business and industry.
