PUBLIC EVENT

The government recently set out its strategy for developing a thriving low carbon hydrogen sector in the UK to meet its stated ambition to achieve 5GW of low carbon hydrogen production capacity by 2030.

Hydrogen is an energy vector rather than a source of energy – once produced from an energy source, it can be stored and transported. Despite rapid technological advances and research, there is still much discussion about how hydrogen should be produced and how it should be used. The third event in our Ask the Engineers series will assess the potential of hydrogen, and its challenges.

From hydrogen startups to big energy companies, how much difference do engineers think hydrogen can make to the drive towards net zero?

Speakers

• Chair: Alok Jha, Science and Technology Correspondent, The Economist
• Dr Enass Abo-Hamed, Chief Executive Officer, H2GoPower
• Professor Rebecca Lunn MBE FREng FRSE, Professor of Civil Engineering, University of Strathclyde

More panellists to be confirmed soon. 

Supported by:

ARUP as the technology partner of the Ask the engineers series.
