The East Midlands Hydrogen Pipeline- Supplying green hydrogen to industries in the East and West Midlands (Webinar)
2025-11-13 13:00 - 14:00 (Europe/London) | Virtual event
Join us to explore the East Midlands Hydrogen Pipeline (EMP) — a landmark project set to accelerate the UK’s hydrogen economy by up to 15 years.
The EMP will repurpose a 63 km pipeline to transport green hydrogen. This network will link producers and users across the East and West Midlands, creating the foundation of a regional hydrogen infrastructure.
Beyond this first phase, EMP aims to connect additional sites across the Midlands, building a resilient, integrated system that supports the UK’s journey to net zero.
EMP is actively seeking partners — from producers and suppliers to investors and technology providers — to help make this vision a reality.

GeoPura – scaling green hydrogen to replace diesel - A HORN network event
2025-12-18 13:00 - 14:00 | Virtual event
We’re pleased to welcome Matt Barney, Chief Hydrogen Business Officer at GeoPura, to our December HORN (Hydrogen Outreach and Research Network) meeting.
Matt 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.
GeoPura 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.
A 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.
At 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.
Could you benefit from a Green Advantage?
Our 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.
Christian 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.
This is a great chance to learn how universities and industry can collaborate to drive real change in business sustainability.
About HyDEX and HORN:
HyDEX (www.hydex.ac.uk) is a Midlands-based programme accelerating the development and deployment of hydrogen technologies through collaborative innovation and skills development.
The 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.
