Smart (Charging and) Emission-Free Construction: Discover It in Practice

Monday May 19th 2025 / 9:30 A.M. - 3:30 P.M.

Knowledge event BuildZero

On Monday May 19, we warmly invite you to an inspiring knowledge event at the Demo Field during the Arnhem Electricity Week.
How can we achieve emission-free construction sites and future-proof smart charging infrastructure? You will find the answers at the BuildZero knowledge event. With insights, real-world experiences, and a behind-the-scenes look at the test event. Be inspired and discover which solutions are already working today.

What can you expect?

A compact, content-rich morning program centered around interoperability, smart charging of construction machinery, and the urgent need for standardization. You will hear from speakers representing practice, policy, and research. In addition, you’ll get an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the BuildZero Test Event.
After lunch, you can join an excursion to construction projects in Arnhem where zero-emission equipment is already being used. Discover the emission-free construction site and hear first-hand stories from the field.

More about the program can be found below the registration form.

Why you don’t want to miss this event

BuildZero brings together policy, technology, and practice to enable emission-free construction and smart charging on and around construction sites. By working towards standardization and grid-conscious solutions, the program accelerates the scaling up of zero-emission construction.
During this knowledge event, you will experience how this approach works in practice and what it could mean for the choices in your own projects or policies.
