This Ideas Forum event will bring together academics from across the Faculty of Science and Engineering with interests in hydrogen as an energy source for achieving NetZero emissions by 2050.

We encourage anyone with interests in production, storage, distribution and utilisation of hydrogen to attend to hear about current and planned research activities across the Faculty and wider university and to meet academics with complementary research interests.

Themes include:

• Storage & distribution (incl sub-surface) chaired by Sophie Nixon, NERC Research Fellow, Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences

• Production (nuclear and renewable) chaired by Francis Livens, Professor of Radiochemistry, Department of Chemistry

• Removing barriers to utilisation (transport, and industrial and domestic use) chaired by Judith Apsley, Senior Lecturer in the Department of Electrical & Electronic Engineering

We hope to foster collaboration through discussion sessions, where attendees are encouraged to present flash presentations of their research interests and discuss future opportunities and priorities in this area.
