Researchers from the University of Brighton are part of a groundbreaking trial underway in West Sussex to create the world’s first hydrogen-powered crematorium.
The University of Brighton team are partners in the Worthing HyCrem project, which will see Worthing Crematorium become the first to utilize hydrogen energy. This initiative significantly contributes to Worthing Borough Council’s goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2030.
The project involves running one of the crematorium’s three units exclusively on green hydrogen for a four-week period. Green hydrogen, produced using renewable electricity sources, offers a clean alternative to conventional natural gas, which currently powers crematoriums and contributes significantly to their carbon footprint.
