Funding aims to make University of Bath hydrogen research hub global centre of excellence

The funding, from the government’s UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) organisation, aims to make UK-HyRES, the UK Hub for Research Challenges in Hydrogen and Alternative Liquid Fuels, a global centre of excellence in hydrogen research.

This will include delivering practical hydrogen and alternative liquid fuel technologies that are safe and environmentally, economically and socially sustainable.

Finding ways to use hydrogen and hydrogen-based low-carbon liquid fuels such as ammonia is essential for the UK to reach net zero emissions by its target of 2050.

Hydrogen is a highly versatile clean energy carrier suitable for use in many hard-to-decarbonise sectors where other energy options, such as electricity, are not suitable.

The University of Bath is already a major player in research into the use of hydrogen as an alternative fuel.
