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? (R&D\, Skills\, Safety\, Certification\, Manufacturing) \nBreakout Themes:  \n\nElectrochemistry & Materials\nH2 Production \nPower Production (fuel cells\, combustion & power management)\nH2 Storage\n\n14: 00 – Workshop themes present outcomes\n– 5 Key R&D challenges & the ideal facilities that will help solve them?\n14:40 – Refreshments and networking break\n14:50 – Group workshop – what collaborative scenario works for the group & what are the opportunities for funding support?\n15:40 – Tour of Horiba – Site Tour  \n16:30 – Close

SUMMARY:2022 EU Hydrogen Policy Summit
DESCRIPTION:2022 EU Hydrogen Policy Summit\, Brussels \nThe summit will be an outstanding opportunity to bring together policymakers from Birmingham\, Nottingham and across the Midlands with counterparts from across the  EU\, particularly where policy thinking and making is more advanced\, to share the latest thinking\, fore-sighting and network with some of our key partners in industry and the wider community\, aiming to address the question of how we can best filter hydrogen policy down from the international\, European and national level to help local regions\, cities\, towns and communities make the transition to zero carbon. \nThis in-person event will gather different stakeholders in a bid to share knowledge and best practice on how to implement the changes necessary to best utilise hydrogen to achieve decarbonisation\, through the following four themes: \n\nUnlocking Hydrogen Economy Potential\nHydrogen Project Developments in the UK-EU\nThe Role of International Collaboration in Achieving Zero Carbon Economy\nTechnologies and Solutions for Use of Hydrogen\n\nMore information about the event\, please get in touch with Mr Ben Peng : ben.peng@era.ac.uk

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.
