End-to-end hydrogen – supporting critical infrastructure

Hydrogen is a powerful fuel source that has the potential to revolutionise a number of sectors, including transport. With almost zero carbon emissions and a high energy density, this abundant gas promises to be a key element of delivering net zero whilst satisfying the increasing national need for energy. Led by the Catapult Network (including HVM Catapult) and other top technology centres, the Hydrogen Innovation Initiative will help to create a new connected innovation ecosystem for accelerating the hydrogen economy and anchoring value in the UK.

The initiative includes a virtual innovation centre which will focus on strategic technologies and cross-sector innovation priorities.  It will be a crucial driver of the end-to-end UK Hydrogen Innovation roadmap, directly addressing the challenges faced by a traditional ‘sector-focused’ approach.

With industrial knowhow and academic excellence, the market opportunities of a hydrogen economy are within the UK’s grasp. The Hydrogen Innovation Initiative will make sure that the UK seizes those opportunities as we race to net zero.
