SUMMARY:Climate Change 3.0 & The Future of Sustainability – A Midlands Green Innovation Network event
DESCRIPTION:There is now broad scientific and political agreement that we need to rise to the challenge of climate change and to live in a more sustainable manner. Yet\, in the UK and beyond\, is becoming clear that political mechanisms do not exist that will allow even currently declared climate change mitigation targets to be met. \nIn March\, the United Nations AR6 report “Climate Change 2023” also highlighted the gap between rhetoric and reality. Businesses therefore need to rapidly understand that we are entering a new era of the climate change debate\, and how policy is likely to evolve. \nLooking further ahead\, at some point the sustainability agenda will need to widen from consuming less\, to in addition finding more. The human species is much better at going forwards rather than backwards. In the future\, grand infrastructure projects – on planet Earth and beyond -are therefore at least as likely to gain widespread support as measures to curtail  human action.

SUMMARY:Hydrogen Storage in Caverns 2023
DESCRIPTION:Energy storage is going to be absolutely central to the timely achievement of Net Zero. That storage will have to be applied over a vast spectrum of times ranging from fractions of a second to many months – and possibly more than a year. \nStoring pure hydrogen in caverns has a vital role to play in this\, because the transformations from primary energy to hydrogen and back to usable energy are so relatively straightforward. \nThis event\, which takes place at the Geological Society in London on Wednesday 29th March\, sets out to explore some of the key challenges involved in deploying the necessary amounts of hydrogen storage in caverns. \nEvent Summary \nThe event will examine: \n\nThe potential in the UK for making salt caverns to store hydrogen\nThe technical challenges of storing hydrogen in caverns\nHow hydrogen storage blends with large-scale compressed air energy storage and other thermo-mechanical energy storage solutions much better suited to shorter timescales than hydrogen.\nExamination of case studies of hydrogen storage in caverns \n\nIt will conclude with a panel session comprising experts from academia and industry. \nEvent Programme \n09:20 – 09:50  – Registration \n09:50 – 10:00 –  Introduction\, Professor Seamus Garvey\, University of Nottingham \n10:00 – 10:20 – Marcus Eich (Uniper): The impact of hydrogen blending on existing gas storage infrastructure   (the compatibility topic) \n10:20 – 10:40 – Alan Leadbetter (Storengy): Hypster project – Large scale hydrogen underground storage in France. \n10:40 – 11:00 – Hans-Age Nielsen (Corre Energy): An overview of Corre Energy’s ongoing projects in Denmark and the Netherlands \n11:00 – 11:10 – Q&As \n11:10 11:30 – Coffee Break and Networking \n11:30 – 11:50 –  Sebastian Boor (Uniper): Hydrogen pilot cavern development at Krummhorn\, Germany \n11.50 – 12:10 – Richard Applewhite (Inovyn): The HyKeuper Project – Planning a large H2 storage in the UK. \n12:10 – 12:30 –  Felicia Chang / Louis Day (Element Energy): Business and commercial aspects of H2 storage in caverns \n12:30 – 12:40 – Q&As \n12:40 13:45 Lunch and Networking \n13:45 – 14:05 –  Tim Armitage (ARUP) : Title to be confirmed \n14:05 – 14:25  – Elodie Zausa (Geostock): Different ways to store H2 underground with a focus on lined rock cavern project from a business development standpoint \n14:25 – 14:45 –  Serge van Gessel (IEA Hydrogen TCP) “Towards demonstration and implementation of underground hydrogen storage” \n14:45 – 15:05 –  Andres Fernandez and Tasos Stavrou (WSP): The State of Hydrogen Underground Storage Projects.  A Real Sample under development in Utah. \n15:05 – 15:15 – Q&As \n15:15 – 15:35 – Coffee Break and Networking \n15:35 – 16:20 – A thought-provoking discussion panel including: \n\nShabana Jamil – Head of Hydrogen Storage Business Model @ Department for Energy Security & Net Zero\nFrances Buckingham – Energy Engineer@ Department for Energy Security & Net Zero\nSusannah Ferris – Hydrogen Market Strategy Lead @ National Grid\nMichael Wagner – Hydrogen Advisor @ AFRY\n\n16:20 – 16:30 – Closing Words \n16:30 – Finish

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:Automotive & Hydrogen Technologies Sector R&D Facilities Workshop at HORIBA-MIRA Technology Park
DESCRIPTION:For Hydrogen technologies to be adopted in the automotive sector\, key advancements are required in durability\, performance\, infrastructure & cost. The UK currently lacks Automotive R&D facilities and many companies cannot justify individual investment. In addition new skills are needed to address the gaps between traditional and future propulsion systems. \nThis workshop is to scope out the need for and potential content for a Centre of Excellence in hydrogen technologies for the automotive sector that focusses on addressing these challenge which currently limit the large scale adoption and growth of the hydrogen automotive sector. Initial thinking is to develop an independent centre which would be owned by universities and operated by HORIBA-MIRA and academic experts to deliver; would join up early lifecycle material development through to application\, manufacturing and sustainability targets and that allows the entire automotive industry access to advanced high investment equipment. \nWe invite you to participate in this workshop so that we can develop an understanding of user needs. This workshop is being organised by HORIBA-MIRA and the Energy Research Accelerator and forms part of a wider initiative to understand and develop thinking on key hydrogen facilities and opportunities relevant to the Midlands. \nAgenda for the day: \n09:30 – Refreshments and registration at HORIBA MIRA Technology Institute\n10:00 – Welcome and introduction to the event (brief overview about market outlook and needs for Hydrogen R&D facilities) – University of Birmingham – Prof Martin Freer\n10:20 -Industry R&D challenges and the need for advanced R&D facilities; \n\nHORIBA Grp – Building the UK’s Hydrogen Technology Hub at HORIBA MIRA – Sean Crespin\nERA – Faye McAnulla\nBosch UK – Maxime Wurtz \nBramble Energy – Paul Barnard\nCranfield University – Jon Horsley \nInnervated Vehicle Engineering – Ram Gokal \nIntelligent Energy – Dennis Hayter\nKeele University – Sharon George\nMTC – confirmed\nULEMCo – Amanda Lyne\n\n12:00 – Networking Lunch \n13:00 Breakout workshops  \n– What are the 5 key challenges that your company is facing and what would the ideal R&D facilities look like to help solve them?

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.
