Spanish contractor Acciona is using a hydrogen fuel cell for on-site power generation on a road construction project near Cadiz, Spain, according to a report in The Construction Index.
The S Series Power Tower from UK-based AFC Energy was installed on site in August and has completed 300 hours of operation to date, generating more than 400kW/h of ‘zero-emission’ power. AFC says that its fuel cell has now completely replaced diesel generators on the project and so far has prevented an estimated 1.8 million tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere.
