In the UK, Cranfield University said it is leading the UK’s collaboration on an international partnership to make low-cost, large-scale, Net Zero hydrogen production a reality.
The Global Hydrogen Production Technologies Center (HyPT) is a five-year project led by Cranfield University, Arizona State University, the University of Adelaide and the University of Toronto, which seeks to accelerate Net Zero hydrogen technologies to make it available at low cost.
UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) has allocated $7.6 million in funding to UK partners, with Cranfield University receiving $2.1 million.
Researchers at Cranfield will analyze the social and environmental system changes needed to build a global hydrogen economy, addressing how to make it affordable and looking at the impact production has on local communities and ecosystems. Researchers will also look into developing pathways for energy-intensive and hard-to-abate industries such as ammonia, steel, cement and transportation, to adopt it as a source of energy.
