Future of Net Zero | How changing plant and materials can cut emissions

A complete shift to electric equipment is desired and Crossley says that Skanska is already using it where possible. “Almost all of the kit we’ve seen, whether it’s an excavator, a crane, a piling rig, the equipment is as productive as its fossil fuel alternative,” he says. “The only technical issue is the power source.”

I spoke to Skanska and Liebherr about how switching to electric plant equipment is a key step to reaching our net zero targets. Read my collab article with colleague Catherine Kennedy over on New Civil Engineer.
