SUMMARY:GeoPura – scaling green hydrogen to replace diesel - A HORN network event
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the next Hydrogen Off-Road Network (HORN) event hosted by HyDEX\, exploring how the hydrogen industry can work together to shape policy and advance the low-carbon agenda. \nWe’re pleased to welcome Matt Barney\, Chief Hydrogen Business Officer at GeoPura\, to our December HORN (Hydrogen Outreach and Research Network) meeting. \nMatt will introduce GeoPura’s approach to delivering zero-emission temporary and off-grid power using green hydrogen and their 250 kW Hydrogen Power Units (HPUs)\, which are already replacing diesel generators across construction\, events\, broadcasting\, and infrastructure projects. \nGeoPura has secured over £100m of investment to scale production of hydrogen\, HPUs and supporting infrastructure. This includes major funding from Siemens Energy\, GM Ventures\, the UK Infrastructure Bank and Barclays. Their ambition is to deploy around 3\,600 HPUs by 2033\, eliminating millions of tonnes of CO₂ by shifting away from diesel. \nA key part of their expansion is the HyMarnham Power project in the East Midlands – a former coal plant now being developed into a major green-hydrogen hub and backed by UK Government support and a significant green loan facility. GeoPura is also expanding into Europe with new production capacity. \nAt HORN\, Matt will outline what GeoPura does\, their latest investments\, and how organisations can get involved – from trial deployments to wider partnerships in the growing green-hydrogen supply chain. \nCould you benefit from a Green Advantage?\nOur second speaker is Christian Byron who will be sharing insights from Aston University’s Green Advantage Programme – a support scheme helping businesses develop practical sustainability skills and deliver low-carbon innovation. \nChristian will give an overview of how the programme works\, the impact it’s having on SMEs\, and how organisations across the Midlands can get involved. \nThis is a great chance to learn how universities and industry can collaborate to drive real change in business sustainability. \nThe current hydrogen policy landscape in the UKThe role of industry collaboration in shaping effective and realistic policyOpportunities for organisations to contribute to policy developmentThe importance of strategic engagement through networks like HORNThis session is designed to support dialogue and coordination across stakeholders in hydrogen\, particularly those working on off-road\, hard-to-decarbonise applications. \nSpeakerMatt Barney\, Chief Hydrogen Business Officer at GeoPuraWho should attendHydrogen technology developers and solution providersPolicymakers\, local authorities\, and regulatorsOff-road equipment manufacturers and operatorsResearchers and academicsSupply chain and logistics professionalsAnyone involved in hydrogen deployment or policy development\nDownload slides from the event here: Shaping Hydrogen Policy slides \nView the video from the event here. \nAbout HyDEX and HORNHyDEX (www.hydex.ac.uk) is a Midlands-based programme accelerating the development and deployment of hydrogen technologies through collaborative innovation and skills development. \nThe Hydrogen Off-Road Network (HORN) is a HyDEX initiative focused on supporting the use of hydrogen in non-road applications\, including construction\, agriculture\, mining\, and industrial vehicles and machinery.

SUMMARY:The role of hydrogen in decarbonising transport
DESCRIPTION:Live webinar organised by HyDEX\, a programme delivered by the Energy Research Accelerator partnership\, for Decarbonising Transport Week. \nWith the increasing popularity and media attention on electric vehicles\, hydrogen is often as seen as the poor relation when it comes to its use in decarbonising transport. But is this perception fair? \nSuccessful launches of hydrogen trains and ships have already proven the potential of the technology in those sectors\, and hydrogen trucks offer a reasonable range and fast refuelling capability that is making them more attractive to hauliers. In the UK\, recent trials by Cranfield University have also demonstrated that hydrogen can have a role particularly for powering light aircraft. \nAt this online event\, leading academic experts from the Energy Research Accelerator and HyDEX\, along with industry specialists from manufacturers\, the transport sector\, hydrogen producers and distributors will be discussing the latest developments in hydrogen. The webinar will explore its advantages and disadvantages as a fuel for transport\, and the important role that it can play as we move towards a decarbonised transport system.

SUMMARY:UKAEA-ERA Research Workshop on UKAEA's Nuclear Fusion Programme
DESCRIPTION:Find out about the UK Atomic Energy Authority’s STEP nuclear fusion programme. \nBackground\nSpherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP) is a UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) programme that will demonstrate the ability to generate 100 MW net electricity from fusion. It will also determine how the plant will be maintained through its operational life and prove the potential for the plant to produce its own fuel.The first phase of the programme is to produce a concept design by 2024. It will be a spherical tokamak\, connected to the National Grid and producing net energy\, although it is not expected to be a commercially operating plant at this stage. \nEnergy storage\nSpherical fusion reactors require powerful magnetic fields to confine and control the extremely hot plasma of fusion fuels. The confinement and heating processes are very energy intensive until a “burning” plasma has been formed when the energy generated by the plasma exceeds the energy required to sustain it. Once the plasma is extinguished the energy contained within the systems can be released either as electrical or thermal energy. The STEP prototype’s objective to generate net energy requires power station scale electricity generation. These have significant thermal requirements for start-up and shut down. A mixture of electrical\, chemical\, and mechanical storage solutions will be required to manage the rate and quantity. \nHydrogen Fusion reactors use three different isotopes of hydrogen (protium\, deuterium and tritium). Deuterium and Tritium reactions provide the greater energy gain with the lowest operating conditions. Tritium is a radioactive isotope (with a ½ life ~ 12.3 year and decays to Helium and a weak beta) very expensive and difficult to source. Energy efficient purification and reprocessing of all tritiated streams will be required\, this has the potential to generate large quantities of protium (hydrogen with an atomic mass of 1). The UKAEA is seeking expertise in the dissociation\, recombination\, and storage of protium. \nEvent Programme\n\nIntroduction to UKAEA and nuclear fusion programme\nIntroduction to the challenges of Tritium breeding and energy extraction\nIntroduction to the wider challenges\, including materials\, linking to hydrogen and energy storage and the power system\nQuestion and Answer and discussion session\n\nThis webinar takes place on Friday 17th June from 11:30 – 13:00 and is exclusively for staff and students at Energy Research Accelerator partner universities (Aston\, Birmingham\, Cranfield\, Keele\, Leicester\, Loughborough\, Nottingham and Warwick) and the British Geological Survey.
