Hydrogen Energy
The Hydrogen Energy Project, part of ‘Energy Futures’, was the first project of the Science City Research Alliance to be funded by Birmingham Science City via AWM.
The collaboration between the universities of Birmingham and Warwick will bring together and build on existing research excellence and will position the West Midlands as an internationally leading research centre for hydrogen energy.
With the continued threat of global warming, hydrogen energy is seen as one of the best ways of generating energy without producing excessive amounts of carbon or greenhouse gases.
The project is researching how hydrogen energy can be generated, stored and used as a power source in buildings and transport. The grant is funding equipment and facilities at the two universities so that they can further research and develop demonstrator projects with public and private sector partners. A key area of activity is looking at ways of producing and storing hydrogen using sustainable methods, such as by electrolysis of water and from biomass.
