This week we were fortunate to have the opportunity to volunteer at a local Day Centre dedicated to supporting some of the most vulnerable members of the community. The centre staff use every available space to complete their work and wanted to make better use of an old, unused room, ready for a new lease of life. We were delighted to help, giving the space a fresh coat of paint, ready for new fixtures and fittings. The Day Centre staff do amazing work, we hope this space becomes exactly what they need 👏 Antoinette Campbell Alison Nicholl Sophie Bloye #volunteering

This week we’re in Manchester for a demonstration of Element 1, a cross-industry consortium led by BAM developing hydrogen as a replacement for diesel on construction sites. With funding from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, Element 1 has brought together expertise from construction (BAM UK & Ireland & Skanska), plant hire (Flannery Plant Hire & Plantforce), hydrogen sector (ULEMCo Ltd, GeoPura, Reynolds Logistics) and the research and technical organisation BRE & Constructing Excellence. The project will drive forward hydrogen manufacturing and supply chain efficiency. It includes off-site production, off-grid compression, innovative storage, and distribution solutions. Element 1 will significantly reduce diesel usage and enable existing plant to remain in use over their remaining lifecycle. It’s incredibly exciting to see this collaborative innovation finally come to fruition. We believe this is another positive step in reducing our industry’s reliance on fossil fuels. https://lnkd.in/eEkn_QWM #hydrogen #climatechange #Innovation #climatesolutions #cleanenergy #netzero #netzeroinnovationportfolio #NZIP #MakingPossible #BuildingASustainableTomorrow
