The UK Hub for Research Challenges in Hydrogen and Alternative Liquid Fuels (UK HyRES) based at the University of Bath has allocated £3m in research grants to support innovative projects focusing on hydrogen and low-carbon liquid fuels. Led by Professor Tim Mays, the hub aims to drive the national effort towards developing technologies that will help the UK achieve net zero emissions by 2050. The 10 new research projects funded by UK HyRES cover various themes including hydrogen production, storage, end use, and alternative carriers. These projects will address obstacles hindering the wider adoption of hydrogen and low-carbon liquid fuels while exploring efficient production methods and safe storage solutions. Initiatives like seawater electrolysis, repurposing North Sea assets, and developing green steel production using ammonia as a hydrogen carrier are among the key focus areas. The projects not only aim for technological breakthroughs but also prioritize skill development in the UK, contributing to building a competent workforce in the hydrogen and liquid fuels sector. The allocation of funds from the hub's flexifund demonstrates a commitment to fostering innovation and research in sustainable energy solutions. With a positive sentiment towards hydrogen and its potential to drive carbon savings, these initiatives mark significant progress towards a greener and more sustainable future.
