Description
Europe’s $134B hydrogen megaproject is powering large-scale construction sites with emission-free fuel cells, replacing diesel. GeoPura and Siemens Energy Ventures are driving the transition by supplying green hydrogen and fuel units across industrial sites. The HS2 site in London proves hydrogen can work at scale, cutting emissions, noise, and air pollution in real time.
