SUMMARY:HORN Network Event: Cadent’s H2East Hydrogen Pipeline
DESCRIPTION:HORN Network Event: Cadent’s H2East Hydrogen Pipeline \nAndy Lewis\, Regional Development Manager at Cadent\, will be speaking at the Energy Research Accelerator’s next HORN network event\, taking place online from 12pm–1pm on Thursday 29th January. \nThis session will explore Cadent’s early-stage plans for the H2East hydrogen pipeline and what it could mean for the future of hydrogen infrastructure in the UK. \nWhat the session will cover \n\nAn overview of the proposed H2East pipeline\, a 150km largely underground hydrogen pipeline\nThe proposed route from Immingham in the Humber to Newark in Nottinghamshire\nHow the pipeline would connect regional hydrogen production with industrial end users\nThe role of H2East within the wider East Coast hydrogen network\nCadent’s approach to stakeholder and community engagement\n\nAbout the H2East pipeline \n\nThe project is being developed by Cadent\, working alongside National Gas and Northern Gas Networks\nIt represents the first phase of a wider hydrogen pipeline network across the UK\nIf delivered as planned\, this could result in around 1\,500 miles of hydrogen pipelines nationwide\nThe Humber to Nottinghamshire section is expected to reach final investment decision within four to five years\nThe pipeline would help address a key barrier to hydrogen deployment: the lack of dedicated transportation infrastructure\n\nThe project aligns with the UK Government’s announcement of over £500m in funding for hydrogen storage and transportation infrastructure\, marking the first major funding programme focused on hydrogen networks. \nWho should attend? \nThis event is free to attend and is open to anyone with an interest in: \n\nHydrogen and energy infrastructure\nIndustrial decarbonisation\nNet zero and energy system development\n\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: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:Long Term Energy Storage – The EMStor and HyScale projects
DESCRIPTION:Long Term Energy Storage – EMStor and HyScale\nAn online HyDEX HORN network event: Thursday 31st July\, 13:00 – 14:00\nHydrogen will play a critical role in reducing UK CO₂ emissions over the coming decades\, supporting renewable energy and enabling the decarbonisation of power\, heat\, transport\, and industry. But storing hydrogen for when it’s needed remains a key challenge.\nJoin this special HyDEX HORN online session to explore two cutting-edge projects focused on long-duration hydrogen storage:\n1. EMStor – East Midlands Hydrogen Storage\nA Strategic Innovation Fund project investigating geological hydrogen storage in the East Midlands\, where heavy industry accounts for 75% of regional CO₂ emissions. The session will explore alternative storage solutions\, such as depleted oil fields and aquifers\, and how they can integrate with emerging hydrogen networks.\n2. HyScale – Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers (LOHCs)\nHyScale explores LOHCs\, a liquid hydrogen storage method ideal for areas lacking geological storage. The project investigates their potential to store and transport hydrogen using existing infrastructure\, with insights into the UK’s first planned LOHC demonstration. \nWho should attend?\nIdeal for energy professionals\, policymakers\, researchers\, and local authorities interested in hydrogen infrastructure\, long-duration storage\, and net-zero strategies.

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)
