The UK Government has set ambitious goals to combat climate change, aiming for the development of a robust clean energy sector by 2030 and net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

These targets represent a monumental challenge - and an opportunity - to reshape the energy landscape and safeguard our planet from the devastating effects of climate change.

About the session

Join an insightful seminar session from Professor Tim Mays, a leading expert in the field of sustainable energy, as he explores the potential of hydrogen and its carriers, such as ammonia, to play a pivotal role in achieving these goals. This engaging session will provide a comprehensive overview of the hydrogen value chain, delving into key aspects such as:

Production: Innovative methods for generating hydrogen, including green hydrogen from renewable energy sources.
Storage and Distribution: The challenges of safely and efficiently storing and transporting hydrogen and its carriers.
End Uses: Applications across various sectors, from powering green energy solutions to driving industrial decarbonisation.

Through this presentation, Professor Mays will highlight both the significant benefits of hydrogen as a clean energy vector and the challenges that must be overcome to integrate it into the UK’s energy strategy.

Whether you're an industry professional, a student, or simply passionate about sustainability, this talk will offer valuable insights into one of the most promising solutions to the climate crisis.
