Key Ideas
  • The launch of 'On Hydrogen' in the UK Parliament sparked discussions on low-carbon hydrogen production, storage, and policy, aiming to shape a robust hydrogen economy.
  • The publication features insights from University of Manchester experts on topics such as sustainable production methods, underground storage, low-carbon hydrogen standards, and hydrogen-electricity integration.
  • Baroness Brown highlighted the need for a pragmatic approach to hydrogen and emphasized the publication's role in informing policymaking for a sustainable hydrogen future.
  • Leading researchers from the University of Manchester contributed to the publication, covering areas such as the greenness of hydrogen, advanced nuclear energy in hydrogen production, and the role of hydrogen in clean energy.
In a significant event at the UK Parliament, the launch of 'On Hydrogen' brought together parliamentarians, industry leaders, and academics to address the challenges and opportunities in the country's hydrogen economy. The publication, comprising seven research-based articles from University of Manchester experts, aims to provide actionable recommendations for policymakers. Roundtable discussions explored key topics such as sustainable production methods, underground storage feasibility, current hydrogen standards, and hydrogen-electricity integration. Baroness Brown cautioned against unrealistic expectations surrounding hydrogen and stressed the importance of informed insights to guide future decisions. Dr. Amanda Lea-Langton and other University of Manchester experts highlighted the practical importance of translating hydrogen potential into actionable plans for decarbonization. The publication features research findings from experts like Dr. Will Bodel, Professor Kevin Taylor, Dr. Christopher Jones, and Professor Aoife Foley, covering aspects such as the greenness of hydrogen, advanced nuclear energy's role, underground storage, current standards, and hydrogen's contribution to clean energy. 'On Hydrogen' stands as a significant contribution towards shaping a sustainable and robust hydrogen economy in the UK.
