Delivering first-of-a-kind (FOAK) hydrogen projects isn't without its hurdles. From escalating costs and policy delays to offtaker uncertainty, the path to success demands innovative approaches and strategic solutions.   Equans is closely involved in the delivery of the hydrogen economy and in our latest whitepaper, we share insights on three critical ways to de-risk hydrogen projects:   - Enhancing design and procurement processes to mitigate uncertainty and provide cost certainty ⚙️ - Optimising project economics by balancing DEVEX, CAPEX, and OPEX to improve affordability 💡  - Leveraging government support to drive FOAK projects and foster resilient domestic supply chains 🤝    Discover actionable strategies to navigate these challenges and move your hydrogen projects closer to successful Final Investment Decisions (FID) in the full whitepaper here: https://lnkd.in/e7MgUB-k   #Hydrogen #Economy #EmpoweringTransitions

We're committed to creating lasting positive change in every community where we operate. At Manchester City Council, where we manage facilities for the city’s extensive public buildings portfolio and housing, we’re proud to deliver high quality FM services as well as significant social value. With over 40,000 jobs completed citywide, our work supports the Council’s decarbonisation and sustainability goals whilst creating positive impacts for the local community. In 2023, we generated around £10 million of social value across the city through our Public Buildings and Housing Services partnerships - supporting local charities, partnering with educational institutions to prepare students for future careers, and providing development and apprenticeship opportunities throughout the city. By putting people at the heart of what we do, we're making a real difference in Manchester and across the whole of the UK ⬇️ #SocialValue #Sustainability #FacilitiesManagement #ProudToMakeItReal

Last week was National Tree Week, and we were reminded of the essential role our forests and green spaces play in tackling climate change.   Research has shown that last year, the hottest on record, saw a concerning decline in the planet’s natural ability to absorb carbon. Droughts, wildfires, and other extreme weather events temporarily reduced the absorption by forests, plants, and soil. This highlights that re-planting and reforestation aren’t just a ‘nice to have’—they’re vital for restoring balance, capturing carbon, and creating sustainable, resilient ecosystems. Our teams across the UK joined the effort last week, planting trees and daffodil bulbs in partnership with local councils. These small actions are part of a larger sustainability journey which we’re committed to through our IMPACT Manifesto.
