A breakfast networking event for all interested in how a future hydrogen economy develops, from producers to users and anywhere along the value and supply chain.
Hydrogen provides the scope to tackle both Net Zero and the UK productivity gap, which stands at 15% lower than that of Germany and the US. By 2030, the sector can support over 12,000 high-skilled jobs and unlock over £10b in private investment*.
The Government’s Hydrogen Strategy details:
- Ambition to achieve 10GW hydrogen by 2030, half of it being green
- Up to 35% of the UK’s total energy consumption to be from hydrogen by 2050
- £240m Net Zero Hydrogen Fund launched April 2022
- £26m Industrial Hydrogen Accelerator to support the hydrogen switch
What does this mean for us in the East Midlands? How can we contribute to and benefit from these challenging targets? What are our industries doing now?
Loughborough University in partnership with the University of Nottingham and the East Midlands Freeport, invite you to an informal breakfast meeting to share challenges, concerns and insights in hydrogen and its implications and opportunities for the regional economy. You will hear from Intelligent Energy, DNV, BSI and Cenex, all part of the established net zero cluster on Loughborough University Science and Engineering Park (LUSEP) which will see the first phase of construction begin this year as part of The Hydrogen Works, a green hydrogen production, testing and training facility.
We also welcome insights from your own organisations at this informal event and there will be ample opportunity for discussion over breakfast.
The Hydrogen Works at Loughborough University is creating active partnerships with the East Midlands Freeport and East Midlands Hydrogen, seeking to attract inward investment and develop the hydrogen economy in the region. Join us and help to build a community of hydrogen fuel energy adopters, researchers, innovators and businesses to attract inward investment and develop the hydrogen economy in the region and help secure its role in the UK for the long-term future.
Who should attend?
Any public or private sector organisation that is interested or has a stake in how the hydrogen economy develops, from producers to users and anywhere along the value and supply chain.
