Professor Ormerod talked about how we are now entering the energy revolution\, and that the HyDEX programme has played a vital part in raising the profile of the potential of hydrogen in the net-zero future in the Midlands and beyond. \nProfessor Martin Freer\, the Academic Director of HyDEX\, and now Chief Executive of the Faraday Institution talked about HyDEX’s achievements\, including how it has pushed forward new technologies through creating demonstration projects at university partners which are looking at new ways of producing and storing hydrogen. \nMartin explained that HyDEX has also introduced new hydrogen skills and training programmes and has been undertaking work to map out the skills needed by industry for the future of hydrogen. Martin discussed some of the international links that HyDEX has made in South Korea\, Singapore and China in order to exchange ideas about best practice. \nInfluencing energy policy\nThe subject of hydrogen policy was also discussed\, and Martin explained how HyDEX is helping to influence policy through work it has done looking at the needs of industrial sectors such as aviation\, road transport\, agriculture\, construction and farming. \nHyDEX has also launched a report looking at the potential of Hydrogen Rail in the Midlands\, and later this month will be launching its study into the case of UK-EU Collaboration in Hydrogen. \nThere were also presentations from innovators who have been supported by HyDEX\, including Green Coordinate\, Nium and Microcabs\, who explained how HyDEX has supported them in technology development. \nDeveloping skills\nFollowing this was a session on skills\, where interns on the HyDEX micro-internship programme\, including Clinton Liu\, Numan Ahmed\, Chloe Tindale and Shakana Oniyah discussed how they had benefitted from industrial work experience trough the HyDEX programme. This was followed by a panel discussion by industry representatives and academic specialists who gave their thoughts on what more was needed to develop the skills needed in hydrogen. \nDuring the lunchbreak delegates had the opportunity to visit the stands of partners of the HyDEX programme in the exhibition area\, which included Hi-ACT\, University of British Geological Survey\, Nottingham\, East Midlands Hydrogen\, Midlands Innovation and several other businesses involved in hydrogen in the region. \nThe future of hydrogen in the Midlands\nIn the afternoon\, Sally Brewis from Cadent provided here thoughts on the future of hydrogen in the region. She explained how the Midlands was a hydrogen innovation centre with huge expertise in universities and businesses in the region\, both large and small. Sally also discussed Caden’s plans for pipeline infrastructure which could connect the supply with the demand by  industry for hydrogen\, creating a hydrogen valley in the region. She also explained how East Midlands Hydrogen is working on EmStor to identify hydrogen storage in the region such as some of the depleted oil and gas fields in the Midlands. \nThe session finished with a panel discussion chaired by Sarah Windrum of Horiba-Mira and featuring Matt Barney of GeoPura\, Kelly Manders of East Midlands Hydrogen and Professor Martin Freer\, who gave their thoughts about the strengths\, opportunities and challenges facing the Midlands in the hydrogen sector. \nKeep the momentum going\nProfessor Martin Freer said: “HyDEX has achieved a great deal. It has shown that there is huge interest and demand for hydrogen in the Midlands\, and that there is a will here to develop a hydrogen economy. \n“It is important now that we keep this momentum and this network going. We need to continue to make the government aware of the important role we see for hydrogen in the Midlands\, and to push for the policies\, infrastructure and funding that are needed to ensure that hydrogen’s great potential is realised’ \nDownload presentation slides \nDownload business contacts showreel \nPhotographs from the event \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n  URL:https://hydex.ac.uk/event/hydex-celebration-event/ LOCATION:The Museum of Making\, The Museum of Making\, Silk Mill Lane\, Derby DE1 3AF\, Derby\, DE1 3AF\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Engagement Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://hydex.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/celebration-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Brussels:20241112T120000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Brussels:20241112T120000 DTSTAMP:20260424T102153 CREATED:20241017T101346Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241017T101346Z UID:4146-1731412800-1731412800@hydex.ac.uk SUMMARY:Hydrogen: The case for UK-EU Collaboration\, London DESCRIPTION:The UK and the EU both see hydrogen as essential to achieving net zero and both have extensive and well-funded policies to support it. Yet progress is far too slow. \nGreen hydrogen represents less than 1% of total production and still costs 6-14 times more than grey hydrogen. Only a tiny fraction of green or blue hydrogen projects have reached final investment decision. \nIn many proposed applications\, hydrogen is being eclipsed by electrification. But in other areas\, hydrogen and its derivatives still look like the best or possibly only option: fertilizer\, shipping\, jet aviation and long-duration grid balancing. \nWhat’s more\, regardless of the higher production costs of cleaner forms of hydrogen\, its system benefits in terms of greater energy security and lower overall energy system costs still look potentially enormous. \nIt is therefore time to take stock. Both the UK and the EU need to ask what their policy is getting wrong and whether they could make faster progress\, and at lower cost\, by working together. \nIn 2024\, HyDEX (Hydrogen Development and Knowledge Exchange) and ERA (Energy Research Accelerator) held a series of summits in Brussels and London where academics\, policymakers and industrialists examined the issue of hydrogen collaboration between the UK and EU. \nAt this FREE event at the Institution of Mechanical Engineers in London\, ERA and HyDEX will be launching their ‘UK-EU Hydrogen Policy Report’ with a host of speakers from industry and the public sector\, outlining the case for UK-EU collaboration\, with specific recommendations to develop hydrogen infrastructure\, markets and policy.
