Accelerating Hydrogen

21 September 2021 - 22 September 2021

Supporting UK leadership in the global hydrogen market.

In the wake of the recently released Hydrogen Strategy by the UK Government, The University of Sheffield is hosting Accelerating Hydrogen, on 21 - 22 September. The conference will bring together industry leaders, investors, innovators, academic researchers and policy makers to understand the challenges and opportunities that arise from the Hydrogen Strategy and increased global demand for hydrogen.

The University of Sheffield, and it’s leading R&D facilities: the AMRC, NAMRC and the Translational Energy Research Centre, is working in collaboration with industry and policymakers to accelerate the nascent hydrogen economy and to maximise UK economic benefit.

The event aims to identify the key R&D challenges and opportunities that need to be addressed to drive the progress of UK industry in delivering the new products and technologies that will underpin a successful hydrogen economy.
