The UK’s largest inland hydrogen cluster
About us
D2N2 Local Enterprise Partnership, Cadent, and some of the region’s leading organisations such as Uniper, Toyota, Midlands Engine, East Midlands Freeport and Leicester and Leicestershire Enterprise Partnership have formed a new industrial partnership called East Midlands Hydrogen, that is poised to become the UK’s largest inland hydrogen cluster. East Midlands Hydrogen is a unique proposition. Unlike other major hydrogen clusters which are coastal, this one is right in the heart of the country. It brings together an intensive cluster of hydrogen demand forecasts from around 70 industrial sites in the Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and northern Leicestershire regions, who are asking for more than 10TWh of hydrogen by 2040 in total, to enable site decarbonisation. For these sites alone, access to low carbon hydrogen would enable carbon savings of 1.9 million tonnes per year, the equivalent of gas-related carbon emissions from 860,000 homes. The East Midlands region is perfectly set up for large-scale low carbon hydrogen production through electrolysis. Previously known as ‘Megawatt Valley’, its high voltage electrical transmission power lines were originally constructed to enable power export from the string of coal-fired power stations built along the river Trent. Available water from the river, coupled with imported renewable energy could enable ‘Megawatt Valley’ to metamorphose into a hydrogen production heartland at GW scale, with multiple forecasts received for a total of 500MW production capacity across the region. By connecting supply and demand through a new 100% hydrogen pipeline network, this region is poised to become the UK’s largest inland hydrogen cluster, bringing massive economic benefits to the region. A PWC report set for publication in October 2023 estimates that development of a full hydrogen supply chain in the East Midlands would contribute £10 billion GVA and 110,000 jobs created or retained by 2050.

WHAT'S THE ROLE OF HYDROGEN IN THE MIDLANDS' NET-ZERO TRANSITION? That was the question posed at a recent Insider Media Hydrogen Roundtable which took place at Loughborough University. HyDEX and the Energy Research Accelerator (ERA) were delighted to support the roundtable, which consisted of a panel of a number of prominent business, university and public sector leaders with an interest in #hydrogen. The panellists gave their thoughts on how the region is in prime position to become the national centre for hydrogen production and distribution, due to its industrial make-up and central location, However, they also expressed the need for assistance from the central, regional and local government, a coordinated strategy and more investment from business. We would like to thank all the panellists who took part in the rountable: - Nicola Swaney, Head of External Affairs, East Midlands Combined County Authority - Kathryn North, Associate PVC Climate Change, Loughborough University - Christopher Barrow, Principal Specialist, External Affairs, Toyota Motor Corporation - Chris Marlow, Public Affairs Director, Alstom - Greg Harris, Commercial Officer, Intelligent Energy - Kelly Manders, Regional Development Manager, Cadent Gas Limited - Nick McCarthy, Technical Specialist, Cenex - Simon Dunnett CMgr FCMI, Technical Sales Manager, HORIBA MIRA - Andrew Whitehead, Head of Energy, Shakespeare Martineau - Dr Katherine Mycock, Business Development Manager, HyDEX You can read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/efvsafWf #climatechange #energy #energystorage #netzero #renewableenergy #cop29 East Midlands Hydrogen Midlands Innovation Midlands Engine West Midlands Combined Authority EBRI - Energy & Bioproducts Research Institute Birmingham Energy Institute Cranfield University Keele University University of Leicester CREST - Centre for Renewable Energy Systems Technology University of Nottingham Energy Institute University of Warwick British Geological Survey SusHy CDT HI-ACT Helen Turner Dan Parsons UK Universities Climate Network

What a turnout! Our East Midlands Hydrogen summit successfully brought together 130 delegates from more than 80 organisations across the full hydrogen value chain, from production, distribution and industrial end use, who all gathered at Loughborough University today. As the UK’s largest inland hydrogen cluster, we’re playing a leading role in the future of clean energy. Today’s event was packed full of insightful and compelling speeches, panel Q&A, workshops and tours and demonstrated our commitment to collaborate and innovate to decarbonise our region. A special thank you to our speakers Mayor of the East Midlands, Claire Ward, Dr. Jeevun Sandher, Dan Parsons, Richard Grice, Katie Greenhalgh Sally Brewis Kelly Manders and all our panellists and workshop leads. Thank you to our co-chairs East Midlands Combined County Authority and Cadent Gas Limited, and to HyDEX and Loughborough University for supporting this summit.

It was great to be able to support the Insider Media roundtable on #hydrogen which took place at Loughborough University today, which was sponsored by our HyDEX programme. We had representatives from leading businesses in the region like Toyota Motor Manufacturing UK, Intelligent Energy, Alstom, Cadent Gas Limited and many others, as well as leaders from academia and regional public sector organisations such as East Midlands Combined County Authority. The Midlands has tremendous potential to lead the way in hydrogen. There are numerous industries and universities in the region which are innovating in hydrogen, and the opportunities are immense, but there are also challenges to overcome in developing and kickstarting the regional hydrogen economy and building the skills base we need. Look out for Ian Griffin's article on Hydrogen in the Midlands which will be published in a couple of weeks' time in Insider magazine and online! #climatechange #hydrogenstorage #netzero #energy Midlands Innovation Midlands Engine East Midlands Hydrogen University of Nottingham Energy Institute Birmingham Energy Institute Keele University Cranfield University Loughborough University CREST - Centre for Renewable Energy Systems Technology WMG, University of Warwick Hydrogen UK Midlands Net Zero Hub East Midlands Freeport Kelly Manders Kathryn North Dr Katherine Mycock Helen Turner Dan Parsons Martin Freer Uniper

I chaired a very insightful and thought-provoking roundtable earlier today on the role of hydrogen in decarbonising the economy. It focused on how to ensure the East Midlands - and wider Midlands - with its hugely advantageous position when it comes to hydrogen production and storage - such as energy infrastructure, knowhow, large coastline and central location - becomes the UK centre for this alternative fuel. The roundtable heard issues around government strategy and coordination, as well as funding and skills, all needed to be fully addressed for this to happen. The event was held at the Elite Athlete Centre and Hotel at Loughborough University, which was next to the university's world-famous running track. So we just had to get a photo of the participants posing as runners on the track (Please send your headline ideas for the coverage.
