SUMMARY:GeoPura – scaling green hydrogen to replace diesel - A HORN network event
DESCRIPTION:We’re pleased to welcome Matt Barney\, Chief Hydrogen Business Officer at GeoPura\, to our December HORN (Hydrogen Outreach and Research Network) meeting. \nMatt will introduce GeoPura’s approach to delivering zero-emission temporary and off-grid power using green hydrogen and their 250 kW Hydrogen Power Units (HPUs)\, which are already replacing diesel generators across construction\, events\, broadcasting\, and infrastructure projects. \nGeoPura has secured over £100m of investment to scale production of hydrogen\, HPUs and supporting infrastructure. This includes major funding from Siemens Energy\, GM Ventures\, the UK Infrastructure Bank and Barclays. Their ambition is to deploy around 3\,600 HPUs by 2033\, eliminating millions of tonnes of CO₂ by shifting away from diesel. \nA key part of their expansion is the HyMarnham Power project in the East Midlands – a former coal plant now being developed into a major green-hydrogen hub and backed by UK Government support and a significant green loan facility. GeoPura is also expanding into Europe with new production capacity. \nAt HORN\, Matt will outline what GeoPura does\, their latest investments\, and how organisations can get involved – from trial deployments to wider partnerships in the growing green-hydrogen supply chain. \nCould you benefit from a Green Advantage?\nOur second speaker is Christian Byron who will be sharing insights from Aston University’s Green Advantage Programme – a support scheme helping businesses develop practical sustainability skills and deliver low-carbon innovation. \nChristian will give an overview of how the programme works\, the impact it’s having on SMEs\, and how organisations across the Midlands can get involved. \nThis is a great chance to learn how universities and industry can collaborate to drive real change in business sustainability. \nAbout HyDEX and HORN: \nHyDEX (www.hydex.ac.uk) is a Midlands-based programme accelerating the development and deployment of hydrogen technologies through collaborative innovation and skills development. \nThe Hydrogen Off-Road Network (HORN) is a HyDEX initiative focused on supporting the use of hydrogen in non-road applications\, including construction\, agriculture\, mining\, and industrial vehicles and machinery.

SUMMARY:Hydrogen: The case for UK-EU Collaboration\, Brussels
DESCRIPTION:The UK and the EU both see hydrogen as essential to achieving net zero and both have extensive and well-funded policies to support it. Yet progress is far too slow. \nGreen hydrogen represents less than 1% of total production and still costs 6-14 times more than grey hydrogen. Only a tiny fraction of green or blue hydrogen projects have reached final investment decision. \nIn many proposed applications\, hydrogen is being eclipsed by electrification. But in other areas\, hydrogen and its derivatives still look like the best or possibly only option: fertilizer\, shipping\, jet aviation and long-duration grid balancing. \nWhat’s more\, regardless of the higher production costs of cleaner forms of hydrogen\, its system benefits in terms of greater energy security and lower overall energy system costs still look potentially enormous. \nIt is therefore time to take stock. Both the UK and the EU need to ask what their policy is getting wrong and whether they could make faster progress\, and at lower cost\, by working together. \nIn 2024\, HyDEX (Hydrogen Development and Knowledge Exchange) and ERA (Energy Research Accelerator) held a series of summits in Brussels and London where academics\, policymakers and industrialists examined the issue of hydrogen collaboration between the UK and EU. \nAt this FREE event at the Sofitel Hotel in Brussels\, ERA and HyDEX will be launching their ‘UK-EU Hydrogen Policy Report’ with a host of speakers from industry and the public sector\, outlining the case for UK-EU collaboration\, with specific recommendations to develop hydrogen infrastructure\, markets and policy. \nSpeakers confirmed: \n\nMartin Freer\, Hydex/ERA – presenting the report\nMarije Vos\, Project Secretary\, HEAVENN hydrogen valley\, Netherlands\nMatthew Barney\, Chief Hydrogen Business Officer\, GeoPura\, UK\nMarije Vos\, Project Manager\, HEAVENN Hydrogen Valley\, NLS\nModerator 1\, Mark Watts\nNatasha Sogol\, Head of Energy\, UK Embassy to the European Union\nNicole Glanemann\, Energy Attache at German Embassy to the European Union\nRobert Francia\, Regulatory Affairs\, the European Network of Transmission System Operations for Gas (ENTSOG)

SUMMARY:HyDEX Celebration Event
DESCRIPTION:At this event\, we will be celebrating the success of the HyDEX programme in bringing together academic\, businesses\, local authority and policy makers to support the development of a Hydrogen Economy in the Midlands. \nAfter launching in 2022\, the Research England HyDEX programme is coming to a close in December\, having supported over 50 companies with their training needs\, supporting 12 micro/start-up companies to further develop hydrogen technologies\, over £100 million of funding has been secured for hydrogen projects by our university partners and more than 50 events delivered across the Midlands and beyond. \nWe will be hearing from those who have collaborated and innovated with us as part of the programme to showcase and celebrate their success. We will then look to the future\, beyond HyDEX\, to explore hydrogen developments in the Midlands. The day will also provide opportunities for networking to meet familiar faces and form new collaborations. \nAgenda: (subject to change) \n09.30-10.00 Registration and refreshments / Networking / Exhibition stands \n10.00-10.10 Welcome: Professor Mark Ormerod\, Deputy Vice-Chancellor\, Keele University \n10.10-10.30 Celebrating HyDEX – round up of the innovative work of the HyDEX programme – Professor Martin Freer\, CEO of the Faraday Institution \n10.30-10.45 HyDEX – influencing hydrogen policy: \nProfessor Martin Freer\, CEO of the Faraday Institution \n10.45-11.45 Hydrogen Innovators: (presentation of 3 Innovation Funded projects with Q&A) \n• Green Coordinate – Martin Stanley and Aston University – Amir Amiri \n• Nium – Kerry McLaughlin and Aston University – Amir Amiri \n• Microcabs – Anne Shepherd and John Jostins\, and \nUniversity of Birmingham – Yousif Al-sagheer \n11.45-12.15 Refreshments / Networking / Exhibition stands \n12.15-13.15 HyDEX Skills \nHydrogen Micro-internship programme: Guest speakers: \n· Modular Clinton Global – Clinton Liu\, CEO \n· Intern – Numan Ahmed \n· Air Products PLC – Chloe Tindale\, Hydrogen Strategic Marketing \nIntern at Xodus – Shakana Onyinah Manager \n12.35-13.15 Skills Panel Discussion: Building the Hydrogen Workforce of the Future: Skills\, Training\, and Industry Growth \nPanel: Richard Penn\, Sonya Calman\, Hanlin Li\, Lisa Bingley\, Richard Harper \n13:15-14:15 Lunch\, Showreel + videos / Exhibition stands / networking \n14.15-14.35 Keynote: The future of Hydrogen in the Midlands \nWill Morlidge – East Midlands Combined Authority and East Midlands Hydrogen \n14:35-15:10 Panel: The future of Hydrogen in the Midlands \nPanel chair: Sarah Windrum\, Horiba-Mira \nPanellists: Will Morlidge – East Midlands Combined County Authority\, Kelly Manders – Cadent\, Matt Barney – GeoPura\, Professor Martin Freer – CEO of the Faraday Institution \n15.10-15.30 Closing remarks – Beyond: The HyDEX legacy
