Project Details
Description
This project aims to create a sustainable hydrogen supercluster in Southwest England and South Wales.
By bringing together academic, civic and industry partners, the project aims to promote green growth through hydrogen, positioning the region as a leader in the hydrogen economy and supporting the UK's decarbonisation goals across maritime, road, rail, aerospace, and chemicals.
USW’s role focuses on hydrogen as an industrial feedstock and fuel source. Through high-impact sub-projects, capacity building, and engagement, the project aims to significantly reduce carbon emissions in foundation industries traditionally reliant on fossil fuels. It aligns with the UK’s Net Zero Strategy, which highlights hydrogen's role in reducing fossil fuel dependence.
USW's involvement enhances its reputation in hydrogen research, essential for the UK’s low-carbon transition. This initiative will advance technology, build skills, attract investment, create jobs, and foster sustainable growth both regionally and nationally.
