About Hydrogen South West

With a pioneering engineering and transportation history, and powerful cluster of world-class infrastructure businesses and academia, the South West has a strong track record in research and development. Our members have joined together to accelerate the transition to a hydrogen-fuelled green skills economy, helping to decarbonise our largely rural region while creating opportunities for economic growth. We are focused on creating the infrastructure for the production, transmission, storage and off-taker use of hydrogen across the South West.

Together, we are raising the profile of hydrogen innovation in the South West, joining the dots to build progressive, cross-sector partnerships, delivering pilot projects and trials which advance the hydrogen agenda and positioning the South West as a Centre for Excellence for new, green skills.
