UK Universities Launch £10m Hydrogen Integration Hub
The University of Exeter and Newcastle University have joined forces to lead a £10m research hub, HI-ACT, focusing on the integration of hydrogen in the UK's energy system. Professor Sara Walker of Newcastle University heads the project, which includes experts from various UK universities and is funded by the EPSRC over the next five years.
Professor Tapas Mallick from the University of Exeter is involved in the project, contributing research on integrated resources for green hydrogen and community-led use cases. Meanwhile, Professor Walker highlights hydrogen's versatility as an energy vector for hard-to-decarbonise sectors. The hub aims to tackle systems integration challenges for wider use of hydrogen and alternative liquid fuels in the UK.
The research will help inform and support the UK's strategy for integrating the Hydrogen Economy. By showcasing the UK's advances in knowledge and technical capabilities, the hub seeks to establish the country as a world leader in a scalable hydrogen economy.
With a £10m EPSRC grant and a team of experts from top UK universities, the HI-ACT research hub is poised to drive progress in the UK's hydrogen integration. Professor Mallick's involvement and Professor Walker's leadership promise significant advancements in green hydrogen resources and community integration.
