Yorkshire-based waste management and recycling firm, MYGroup, has announced that it will lend its facilities and expertise to a £5 million project funded by the Government’s Department for Energy Security and Net Zero to produce clean energy for the UK transport sector.
The H2-Boost project aims to help the decarbonisation of passenger and long-haulage transport, a sector that contributed to 16 per cent of the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions in 2019. Picture: Andrew Matthews/PA Wire
Steve Carrie, group director, MYGroup, said: “We’re proud to be hosting and partnering on such a high-profile project at the forefront of the Government’s efforts to deliver on its Net Zero commitment. Our work with BDC and the wider project team is set to provide a tangible, working blueprint for hydrogen fuel production at scale."
The company’s chemistry arm, which is based at The Maltings site, will also be working with the BDC to evaluate a range of secondary feedstocks such as cosmetics waste and insect breeding byproducts to assess their potential for future biohydrogen production. Deborah Rathbone, bioscience innovation team manager at BDC, said the group was “delighted” to be leading the phase 2 funding of the project.
