HI-ACT

A thoroughly fruitful and insightful trip, huge thanks to everyone involved.

Our director Sara Walker was delighted to contribute to a panel discussion recently on Day 1 of Engineering a Hydrogen Economy, an Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) event in Birmingham. As a leader in engineering training and knowledge sharing, @ Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) brought experts and engineers together to tackle the challenges across the hydrogen sector. #Hydrogen #HydrogenResearch

We were delighted to be part of this informative event.

Had the pleasure to give an invited talk to the @Carbon Recycling Network today, at Shrigley Hall. Great event, very much enjoyed @CPI talk.

This week we welcomed a delegation from the British #hydrogen hubs UK-HyRES: Hub for Research Challenges in Hydrogen and Alternative Liquid Fuels and HI-ACT(Hydrogen Integration for Accelerated Energy Transitions) to Berlin. The aim was for the delegates to exchange with German hydrogen experts & to further develop UK-German #research & #innovation cooperation in this area of #sustainable #energy – an important element of our UK #Energy and #Climate Partnership with Germany.   We kicked-off with an insightful discussion with a fantastic range of representatives from four different #Fraunhofer Institutes (Fraunhofer IEG, Fraunhofer IKTS, Fraunhofer IFAM, Fraunhofer-Institut für Windenergiesysteme) here at the British Embassy. The group also joined the H2 Forum, had the chance to hear from Projekträger Jülich about wider priorities and developments of Hydrogen research in Germany, and from Innovate UK about #Horizon Europe opportunities. On day two the delegation had the opportunity to visit the historic Fritz-Haber-Institut der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft and gain valuable insights into the institute’s cutting-edge research on hydrogen. Huge thank you to the Fritz Haber team for hosting us and allowing us to get a glimpse into their laboratories! The institute’s commitment to unravelling the fundamental principles of energy transformations is truly inspiring! Last but by no means least, we’d like to thank the Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft for hosting an afternoon of fruitful discussions at their Head Offices in Berlin. The delegation was delighted to meet with representatives from Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT), Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin, Forschungszentrum Jülich and Deutsches Zentrum für Luft-und Raumfahrt e.V. and discuss areas of potential collaboration. We couldn’t have imagined a better end to this productive delegation visit! Looking ahead, we are motivated to advance research and innovation on hydrogen technologies, to strengthen the UK-German scientific and technological collaboration to ensure a successful #NetZero energy transition.

Thank you to all of our HI-ACT colleagues.

A brilliant blog to end #WorldHydrogenWeek - "Strengthening the UK Hydrogen Supply Chain: Insights from Our Latest Research" Authors: Dr Hamed Kalantari, Dr Sube Singh, and Professor Alok Choudhary #Hydrogen #SupplyChain #WHW25 Find out more here👉 https://lnkd.in/epHccGfK

HI-ACT is developing a set of Hydrogen and Alternative Liquid Fuels (HALF) Use Cases with WP1 “The Way Forward”. We are building on existing global and national research trial and demonstration projects, building Use Cases that look at specific situations in which HALF will be used and integrated. One such Use Case is looking at the South Wales Industrial Cluster. Working closely with one of our key stakeholders, Net Zero Industrial Wales, Dr Shuai Yao and Dr Modassar Chaudry are conducting research looking at the integration of hydrogen in a large regional cluster. This blog highlights some of their current work. #WorldHydrogenWeek #WHW25 👉 https://lnkd.in/eyE-eJdU  

#WorldHydrogenWeek sees us publishing another thought piece, this time from By Mela Bettega and Dr Clara Crivellaro. Which focusses on Shaping Inclusive Hydrogen Futures: Digital Engagements for Just Energy Transitions. Read it here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eNN7YD5j #WHW25

Continuing our World Hydrogen Week, we have another brilliant blog we'd like to share with you from Khalid Alanazi, PE discussing The Future of Renewable Hydrogen Trade: Insights from Our Latest Research. You can read the blog here 👉 https://lnkd.in/ePmXxkVB #WHW #WorldHydrogenWeek
