A new hydrogen research facility is set to be established at the University of Nottingham's Jubilee Campus in Wollaton. The lab aims to facilitate research and testing of propulsion systems for various transport industries, with a focus on utilizing green fuels like gaseous hydrogen and ammonia. Featuring cryogenic test capabilities and environmental chambers for altitude testing, the facility will enable the development of technologies crucial for decarbonizing future transportation. This initiative follows the university's announcement of securing £70m in funding from private, public, and grant sources to enhance facilities dedicated to developing technology for zero carbon transport solutions. The hydrogen lab will be closely linked to the Power Electronics and Machines Centre, fostering collaboration in testing novel powertrains, electrical machinery, and systems powered by liquid hydrogen. The project is part of the university's broader efforts in promoting sustainability, as evidenced by the concurrent establishment of the Zero Carbon Innovation Centre, supported by regional partners like East Midlands Freeport and Loughborough University. Chris Gerada, a professor at the university, expressed optimism about the lab's impact on the region's standing in global zero carbon innovation, highlighting the existing expertise and technologies available to drive decarbonisation efforts in industries such as aerospace, automotive, marine, and power generation. The hydrogen propulsion lab is expected to commence operations by the middle of 2026, marking a significant milestone in positioning the East Midlands as a leading hub for sustainable technology development and research.
