A leading UK hydrogen infrastructure company has unveiled a forward-thinking partnership with a Crewe-based fuel card provider and its UK Fuels network.

The collaboration between Element 2 and Radius, was officially announced on Thursday 22 June.

This partnership enables over 100,000 commercial fleet customers to access a reliable supply of fuel cell grade hydrogen across the UK in the future and make payments with their existing UK Fuels cards.

Element 2 and Radius will work together to develop a network of hydrogen refuelling solutions across Radius' existing UK Fuels network.

Chief Development Officer at Element 2, Dr Andrew Hagan, said: "This new relationship with Radius and the UK Fuels network will unlock existing fuel sites and will be a catalyst for Element 2 to build the UK's hydrogen network faster.

"We target local fuel cell grade green hydrogen made from wind, waste, biomass and water treatment sources and supply all hydrogen vehicle types – trucks, vans, buses, refuse vehicles and cars. 

"Hydrogen will play a major role in mitigating electricity grid constraints and complement the charging infrastructure in the UK.

This new partnership will significantly accelerate a shift towards net zero emissions (Radius).

"By adding hydrogen refuelling on to existing service areas, Element 2 and Radius will deliver a one-stop-shop for all road users as we transition to net-zero."
