the Site Sustainability Showcase at PlantWorx 2025   Louise Carney  ·  2 minute read *From solar towers and hydrogen hybrids to electric excavators, smart fuel hubs and fast charging solutions, **PlantWorx 2025** will put sustainability at the centre of the industry conversation. The Site Sustainability Showcase (SSS), running across all three days of the show from 23rd to 25th September at Newark Showground, will bring together technologies and systems that are already helping contractors, hirers and OEMs move towards cleaner, more efficient sites.* Delivered in association with the ***Construction Plant-hire Association (CPA)*** and sponsored by ***Prolectric***, the Showcase will demonstrate how different solutions can be used together as part of a working set-up. Positioned alongside the Recharge Café, supported by ***DF Capital***, it will be a hub not just for machinery, but for practical ideas and knowledge sharing. Visitors can expect to see a wealth of innovation on display. ***Flannery*** will present a 20-tonne LiuGong electric excavator, while ***Lynch*** is bringing a Komatsu 13-tonne PC138E-11. ***Plantforce***, working with ***Ulemco***, will showcase a hydrogen-hybrid excavator and a mobile hydrogen refuelling unit. ***Ramcrete*** will put the Schwing 1800E electric concrete pump to work, and ***Camfaud*** will demonstrate its Putzmeister M36-i model. ***City Lifting*** will roll in a plug-in hybrid truck-mounted crane, while ***Select Plant Hire*** is providing a Faresin electric telehandler. Beyond the heavy kit, alternative power and fuel will be strongly represented. ***Prolectric***’s solar and battery systems will supply much of the energy needed for the Showcase itself, powering welfare and compact machinery through its ProPower and ProCharge units. ***Certas Energy*** will highlight its renewable HVO diesel, cutting greenhouse gases by up to 90%, while ***New Era’s Fuel Box*** offers a more sustainable refuelling option. ***Templant*** will have ultra-silent Stage V generators ready to connect to charging systems, and ***Volvo Penta*** will demonstrate its energy-dense BESS subsystems. Portable and small-scale power is also in focus. ***Instagrid*** will demonstrate battery systems for tools and site equipment, ***Atlas Copco*** will showcase electric and battery-driven air compressors, and ***AMPD Energy*** will present a quieter, cleaner energy storage system. ***Speedy Powered Access*** will show its hydrogen-powered boom lift and ***Explore Plant & Transport Solutions*** is set to bring an Ammann electric roller and Faresin telehandler. ***Nixon Hire*** will highlight eco-friendly modular welfare units, while ***Conquip***’s Fuel Eco-Hub shows how smarter site fuel management is reducing waste. Charging infrastructure will also be part of the Showcase, with ***Zenobē*** presenting its Zerova DS150 solution, ensuring that the growing fleet of electric machinery and vehicles can stay powered on site. Digital systems will play an equally important role, with ***Hiboo***’s telematics platform, via ***Halomec***, offering mixed-fleet monitoring of usage, efficiency and emissions. The ***Supply Chain Sustainability School***, a participant in the Showcase, will provide training and resources to help businesses build the skills needed for a low-carbon future. *The CPA’s Decarbonisation & Sustainability Manager, Luis Bassett, will be based in the Showcase throughout the event, engaging with visitors and policymakers. “This is about showing what works today, while also being open about the challenges. Infrastructure, site constraints and the pace of availability all have an influence, but there are practical steps that can already be taken to reduce diesel use and emissions. Policy makers need to be aware of these constraints and support emerging technology, including those that aren't fully zero-emission. The Showcase will give a joined-up view of how different solutions can be applied together.”* *** ***As well as demonstrations and live data, the Showcase will host dedicated briefings for government bodies, regulators, local authorities and environmental organisations. These sessions will ensure decision-makers understand the realities faced on site, and the opportunities that current technologies can already unlock. For ***PlantWorx*** visitors, the Showcase will be an unmissable stop. It’s a rare chance to see a broad mix of hydrogen, electric, solar, battery, hybrid and charging solutions presented side by side — with the emphasis firmly on practicality, integration and readiness for work. ***PlantWorx 2025*** takes place from 23rd to 25th September at Newark Showground.
