Zero emission construction equipment - The innovation Ecosystem

Who are KTN

The world we live in faces ever-changing societal, environmental and economic challenges, which are felt regionally, nationally and also globally. At KTN our mission is to connect ideas, people and communities to respond to these challenges and drive positive change through innovation. Our diverse connections span business, government, funders, research and the third sector. Construction equipment is one of the areas that KTN look after with a mixture of support from our Infrastructure, Energy and Transport Teams.

KTN have a number of relevant strategic groups and opportunities that maybe of interest.

Hydrogen Innovation Network

The Hydrogen Economy Innovation Network is creating a noncompetitive advisory group to pool knowledge from existing hydrogen communities to validate views on the current challenges to enabling low-carbon hydrogen production at scale and cost.

Hydrogen could be the zero-emission transport option for modes that are harder to decarbonise, like heavy freight, railways, construction, marine and aviation. These sectors often have long and challenging duty cycles and consume large amounts of energy.
