MOTION: Councillor Yvonne Collins

That this Council writes to the Minister for Transport and the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications asking that detailed investigation and research be carried out in relation to sourcing green hydrogen as an alternative fuel for our motor vehicles, including lorries, buses and HGVs given the environmental concerns re the mining of lithium for car batteries for EV vehicles and the considerable cost involved in recycling lithium.

REPORT:

If this motion is agreed, a letter will be issued to the Minister for Transport and the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications. A response, when received, will be circulated to the Members.
