Which is the best way forward for construction plant? Battery or Hydrogen powered?

Question

Would love to hear your views and opinions here at at Construo. Should it be an entirely technology lead solution and what are the relative economics and political drivers? Which is more sustainable when considering whole life cycle from raw materials to disposal and re-cycling and what other social and welfare factors are at stake?

Steve, from a renewables perspective I guess both have benefits. Battery power does though seem to rely on a lot more rare mineral elements and has a long way to go to achieve the convince of the internal combustion engine. Hydrogen fuel cells have been promised for many years, can it come to pass as the fuel of the future? Needs mush renewable energy I believe to deliver adequate supply;lies of the gas. One thing is for sure we need these sustainable forms to be successful, maybe we need both?
