Forterra’s plans for an expansion of its hydrogen-fuel trials beyond its Measham factory are benefiting from the East Coast Hydrogen Pipeline (ECHP) that is set to pass near the manufacturer’s Kirton brickworks.
Recently, Cadent announced plans for the ECHP, which will connect hydrogen production sites in North Nottinghamshire and the Humber to energy-intensive manufacturers across the East Midlands. The proposed pipeline offers a potential future supply of low-carbon hydrogen.

Forterra trials to date show that hydrogen can be introduced in staged blends with natural gas, starting at 5% and rising to 20%, while maintaining the renowned texture, durability, and colour of their bricks. The company is now preparing further pilots on smaller kilns with hydrogen blends approaching 100%.
