Lower Thames Crossing (LTC) Low Carbon Hydrogen Supply
Notice Description
National Highways is the government company charged with operating, maintaining and improving England's strategic road networks. The Lower Thames Crossing (LTC) is a proposed new road connecting Kent, Thurrock and Essex through tunnels underneath the River Thames. The Programme will relieve the congested Dartford Crossing and approach roads and improve their performance by providing sufficient north-south road capacity. On the south side of the River Thames, the new road will link the tunnel to the A2 and M2 in Kent. On the north side, it will link to the A13 and junction 29 of the M25 in the London Borough of Havering. This procurement is for the production, delivery and storage (including dispensing) on site of Low Carbon Hydrogen for the Lower Thames Crossing Project. The Low Carbon Hydrogen will be used to fuel the construction plant.
