The event aimed to make potential users aware of the benefits of these alternative eco technologies and accelerate the development and delivery of their applications into the vehicle pool and new or regeneration building developments.

It culminated in the launch of the London Hydrogen Partnership’s £60,000 Fuel Cell Viability Study Fund.

Around 150 delegates attended from small and large businesses from both the public and private sectors.

Presentations covered hydrogen fuel cells for buildings, portable applications, IT centres and transport applications of the technology as well the topics of procurement and funding.

The fund is now open to tender from all delegates interested in commissioning a free study to examine the feasibility of using a Fuel Cell solution within their organisation.
