Join this free webinar to hear from the authors of EI 3633 Soil and groundwater risks at battery and hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle energy retail sites and learn more about the project, its findings and the resulting guidance.
Developed by the Energy Institute’s Soil, Waste and Groundwater Group (SWG), under the Environment and Sustainability Committee, and as part of the Energy Institute’s Technical and Innovation Work Programme, the publication examines the potential risks to soil and groundwater associated with the installation, operation and maintenance of electric vehicle (EV) charging and hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) refuelling infrastructure at energy retail sites.
The authors will introduce the background and objectives of the project, discuss the key risks and emerging environmental considerations identified through the work, and provide an overview of the guidance developed to support site-specific environmental risk assessments and conceptual site models (CSMs).
The webinar will also provide an opportunity to hear directly from the authors and ask questions about the publication and its findings.
Speaker: Katy Baker

She has worked with the Energy Institute on a number of research publications over the past 15 years, including how the Environment Agency’s GP3 should be applied on retail sites and contaminated sediment assessment, and has now supported with development of the Green Guide for Energy Stations.
Speaker: Jay Hall
She is an environmental and sustainability researcher and author, with a background in academic research, geo-environmental assessments including for oil and gas assets, and sustainable development. Jay has presented at national and international conferences covering developments in geochemistry, palaeontology and climate modelling and has published work in peer reviewed journals as leading and co-author. Her particular focus at Arcadis is supporting our clients and our internal soil and groundwater team realise the opportunities which a drive to a sustainable society offers us all. She has particular depth of knowledge with the UNSDGs and how these can be supported in different sectors.
