Toyota Motor Manufacturing UK

Event AimThis regional event will focus on four key topics for the Midlands region:<ol><li>Celebrating hydrogen advances taking place in the region including, for example, the recently announced hydrogen bus programme and trials of using hydrogen in power generation .</li><li> Identifying and developing regional aspirations in relation to hydrogen activity. Key examples include the development of a hydrogen rail demonstrator, a regional skills programme and a fuel cell manufacturing facility .</li><li>Identifying policy issues blocking progress, such as the use of Renewable Transport Fuel Obligations (RTFO), Control of Major Accident Hazards (COMAH) regulations and the use of blended hydrogen in the gas network. The event will also include a session on developing a policy engagement plan </li><li>An update on international hydrogen engagement with our key global partners. </li></ol>It is hoped this event will allow us to co-create transformational plans for the region which we intend to launch in parliament soon afterwards.Event Programme (Please note that some timings and speakers may be subject to change)AGENDA FOR THE REGIONAL HYDROGEN POLICY AND INNOVATION SHOWCASE, THURSDAY 26 JANUARY TOYOTA
