The construction sector has always been a major energy consumer, but the trend is accelerating with the increasing electrification of construction sites and the development of electric building machinery.
The hydrogen-powered GEH₂® supplies electricity without emissions of any fine particles and Green House Gases such as CO₂ in the atmosphere. It is also almost silent and only rejects water and heat as by-products that can be reused for other purposes. As such, it is of strong interest to construction companies, especially when works are undertaken in residential areas.
For example, the European leader in rental equipment LOXAM has now deployed zero-emission worksites in the heart of Paris for its client Vinci Constructions, using EODev's GEH₂® to make such construction works as low carbon, and silent, as possible. During the first test trial undertaken in the fall of 2021, Vinci Constructions powered the entire site, located in the heart of Paris, with LOXAM's GEH₂® developed by EODev. Brining electricity to the living area and recharging an electric excavator, EODev's GEH₂® managed to save 156 kg of CO₂ over 3 days and the neighborhood experienced the silence of our power generator. The experience, which is being repeated in other locations for other Vinci Constructions works, was a resounding success.
