The reducing environmental impacts strategic priority is in recognition that there is an environmental aspect to all transport, and therefore almost all the work of DfT. Transport is the largest emitting sector of greenhouse gases in the UK, contributing 27% of domestic emissions in 2019. Our transport system must change to deliver the government’s Net Zero ambition and DfT will drive forwards that change through our longer-term green transport agenda. On decarbonisation specifically, we published our Transport decarbonisation plan (TDP) in July 2021, which sets out the steps we will take to deliver the necessary carbon reductions across every form of transport. Sustainability will be at the heart of levelling-up. People everywhere will feel the benefits – villages, towns, cities, and countryside will be cleaner, greener, healthier and more prosperous and pleasant environments in which to live and work

The project aims to study the impacts of using hydrogen in internal combustion engines and reduce emissions.
In the drive to Net Zero the use of Hydrogen can play an important role in future UK transport. Whilst the majority of work looking at using hydrogen as a fuel for vehicles has been focused on fuel cell there is the pote...

The project focuses on adapting internal combustion engines to run on hydrogen, but does not specifically address the impacts on nitrogen oxides or other emissions.
The M1H Hydrogen internal combustion engine (ICE) is considered the next generation replacing the use of gasoline and diesel fuels. SheedTech has successfully built the Hydrogen ICE utilising the Innovate UK Fast Start G...
