GW-SHIFT webinar series – Hydrogen 101: Opportunities and Challenges in the Alternative Fuel Market Copy
The UK Government has set ambitious goals to combat climate change, aiming for the development of a robust clean energy sector by 2030 and net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. These targets represent a monumental challenge – and an opportunity – to reshape the energy landscape and safeguard our planet from the devastating effects of climate change.
Join an insightful seminar session on Friday 31st January from Professor Tim Mays at the University of Bath, a leading expert in the field of sustainable energy, as he explores the potential of hydrogen and its carriers, such as ammonia, to play a pivotal role in achieving these goals.
This session will provide a comprehensive overview of the hydrogen value chain, delving into key aspects such as:
- Production: Innovative methods for generating hydrogen, including green hydrogen from renewable energy sources.
- Storage and Distribution: The challenges of safely and efficiently storing and transporting hydrogen and its carriers.
- End Uses: Applications across various sectors, from powering green energy solutions to driving industrial decarbonisation.
Through this presentation, Mays will highlight both the significant benefits of hydrogen as a clean energy vector and the challenges that must be overcome to integrate it into the UK’s energy strategy.
Whether you’re an industry professional, a student, or simply passionate about sustainability, this talk will offer valuable insights into one of the most promising solutions to the climate crisis.
This session is part of the GW-SHIFT programme - the Great Western Supercluster of Hydrogen Impact for Future Technologies (GW-SHIFT) is a unique two country programme to develop and accelerate delivery of impact activities for the emerging hydrogen research and innovation cluster across the South West of England and South Wales. The programme will support these regions to decarbonise different sectors and accelerate the journey to Net Zero. GW-SHIFT is funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council as a flagship Place Based Impact Acceleration Account.
