Re: Government refusing to licence Hydro... My son lives in a village where there is no gas supply so he uses Calor gas for heating the house. The tank is in the front garden and the neighbours also have a tank in their front garden, with less than 2 metres between the two tanks. His tank had its 30-year inspection a few months ago and he was told that it breaks the current regulations as it is too close to the public footpath and to the neighbours hedge. Moving it would leave them with only one parking space for a car.The alternative would be to sink the tank below ground but it would need a blast proof wall built between their garden and the neighbour's. The neighbour's tank is due for its inspection this year so they will then face the same problem but, as they hope to move house soon, they do not want to share the costs. Could it be that hydrogen storage will face similar regulations?
Re: Government refusing to licence Hydro... Perhaps it is just caution over safety regulations when mixing hydrogen refuelling with petrol/diesel refuelling. There is still a problem with public concern over hydrogen dating back to the Hindenburg disaster, so the Government may want to consider whether regulations need tweeking to give additional assurance before wider adoption.
Re: Government refusing to licence Hydrogen ... According to the ITM website the hydrogen refuelling facility at the new Cobham M25 services is active. However, progress with opening other publicly accessible facilities seems very slow. I am glad that the company are moving on with projects related to commercial vehicles and power networks, as these seem far more dynamic.
Re: Government refusing to licence Hydrogen Refuelling stations The Govt tend to avoid/drag their feet on licencing until someone funding them or wearing a suitable tie, can profit from the provision of the service/product. A rather anachronistic way of doing things but not likely to change under our long out dated pseudo-democracy.
Government refusing to licence Hydrogen Refuelling stations On enquiring of someone in the Industry why ITM havent got any public refuelling points I have been told that the Government are refusing to licence Hydrogen Refuelling stations on public forecourts.refusing, I don't know whether they haven't got around to looking at it , or whether they just don't like the technology.Anyone else have any info on this?
