S&A is proud to announce the commencement of construction on a state-of-the-art hydrogen refuelling station at Teesside International Airport. This pioneering project, led by Element 2, aims to provide hydrogen refuelling capabilities for a range of vehicles, including cars, trucks, vans, and airport support vehicles, as part of the UK Government-funded Tees Valley Hydrogen Transport Hub.

With planning permission now secured, the construction is scheduled for completion this spring. The facility will feature two refuelling bays offering both 350 and 700 bar pressures, a canopy, a single dispenser, and three storage tanks, all designed and built by French specialists Hydrogen Refuelling Solutions. This development is set to enhance commercial access to hydrogen and bolster the airport's green energy initiatives.

Simon Pelly, S&A Managing Director, stated: ""We are proud to be playing a key role in delivering this cutting-edge hydrogen refuelling station at Teesside International Airport. As the UK moves towards a cleaner, greener future, projects like this are crucial in supporting the transition to hydrogen-powered transport. At S&A, we are committed to driving innovation in sustainable infrastructure, and this milestone reflects our expertise in delivering forward-thinking energy solutions. We look forward to seeing the impact this station will have in supporting Teesside’s position at the forefront of hydrogen adoption."

Phil Forster, Managing Director at Teesside International Airport, added: "We're flying more people to more destinations, but we're also adding more strings to our bow at Teesside Airport, with our cargo facility, the business park, new hangars, and our green energy ambitions. Securing planning permission for this new Element 2 hydrogen refuelling station is another key milestone."

This project builds upon previous successful trials conducted at Teesside Airport. In 2021, the airport hosted a temporary hydrogen refuelling station and operated low-emission hydrogen-fuelled vehicles, including cars, trucks, forklifts, vans, and tugs, as part of the Tees Valley Hydrogen Transport Hub trial. The upcoming permanent station signifies a significant advancement in the region's commitment to sustainable energy solutions.

S&A is honoured to contribute to this ground-breaking project, which not only supports the UK's net-zero ambitions but also positions Teesside as a leader in the adoption of clean energy technologies.
