Greater Manchester has signed an agreement to develop hydrogen fuel cell technology with Japanese tech giant Panasonic. The deal will see the deployment of its RE100 green hydrogen technology at sites across Greater Manchester, including hospitals, in what are set to be the first real use cases in the UK. Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy […]
The UK Government has awarded £7m ($8.9m) for the construction of a green hydrogen refuelling station and deployment of “at least” 20 hydrogen vehicles in the Tees Valley. With £2m ($2.5m) of funding for Spain’s Exolum, the company plans to construct an electrolyser and refuelling station at its Riverside terminal in Stockton-on-Tees near Middlesbrough. Green […]
Treating around one billion litres of global distilling industry wastewater could cut green hydrogen’s ‘extensive freshwater footprint’, research from Heriot-Watt University finds Around one billion litres of wastewater from the global distilling industry could be used to produce green hydrogen by harnessing materials developed by scientists at Heriot-Watt University, new research has suggested. Edinburgh-based scientists […]
Forecourt retailers struggling to install or upgrade to faster electric vehicle (EV) chargepoints because of a lack of grid capacity now have access to a greener alternative than using traditional generators to make up the shortfall. Operators who cannot source sufficient electricity from grid suppliers have until now largely relied on batteries and generators powered […]
Academic, civic and industry partners will work together to unlock the huge potential of our region’s hydrogen ecosystem providing solutions for storage and distribution, transport, and the energy sector supporting up to 100,000 jobs by 2050. The project ‘GW-SHIFT: Great Western Supercluster of Hydrogen Impact for Future Technologies’ led by the University of Bath and […]
PLANNING chiefs are poised to approve construction of a ground-breaking hydrogen facility in Cheshire. An application by Essar Oil for a hydrogen production plant (HPP), storage and distribution facility is recommended for approval when it goes before Cheshire West and Chester’s planning committee next Tuesday. The proposals also includes the demolition of existing structures on a […]
In a move towards bolstering green hydrogen initiatives, the UK government has earmarked more than £2 billion ($2.53 billion) in subsidies for 11 projects spread across England, Wales, and Scotland. This substantial allocation, part of the first Hydrogen Allocation Round (HAR1), underscores the nation’s commitment to fostering sustainable energy practices. The winning projects, with a combined capacity of […]
The first low-carbon hydrogen hub in Greater Manchester has received a slice of £2billion of funding from the Government aimed at boosting renewable energy and to produce green fuel for use in industry and transport. It’s the first phase of Trafford Green Hydrogen – the largest project of its kind in the UK – with the money […]
Following the success of the inaugural Hydrogen Week in February 2023, dates have been announced for the 2024 awareness raising week. Taking place from Monday 26th February until Friday 1st March 2024 it will bring together stakeholders from across the nation to collaborate, celebrate and promote the role of hydrogen in reaching the UK’s net […]
Hydrogen’s potential to support the UK’s journey to net-zero depends in large part on how carbon-intensive the hydrogen we produce is. One of the challenges this presents is transparency. Much like electrons in a wire look the same (whether generated from coal or from wind), a hydrogen molecule looks the same whether produced by electrolysis powered by […]
Hydrogen Week has been created and funded by the North West Hydrogen Alliance (NWHA). One of the foremost and largest regional hydrogen alliances in the UK our membership covers industry, academia and government. Find out more at www.nwhydrogenalliance.co.uk
