In times of the COVID-19 pandemic, the communication flow is a big issue and even more for the remote communities of the NPA region. Therefore, the HUGE project partners are pleased to present our second seminar in Hydrogen Technologies.

Building an Ecosystem to Accelerate Maritime Hydrogen Projects and Stimulate Local Economies

Presented by

Marc Lavine

The presentation will discuss the steps necessary to build a complete infrastructure and ecosystem of partners for the implementation of effective maritime hydrogen solutions. The presentation will explain why maritime projects are an excellent starting point to kickstart a local hydrogen economy; review innovative maritime projects for passenger ferries and yachts;- including WaterGoRound (https://watergoround.com) and Hynova Yachts (https://www.hynova-yachts.fr); detail the elements necessary to implement a financially viable local hydrogen ecosystem; and show how this ecosystem can stimulating local economies and expand beyond maritime projects.

Marc Lavine is a serial entrepreneur that has co-founded several companies and is now focused on ‘Profit with Purpose’ businesses. Marc is currently the founder of Hydrogen Impact Partners, a new firm that is implementing HaaS - Hydrogen as a Service solutions.

Hosted by Tevi, this 'In Conversation With' session convenes expert practitioners to discuss cutting-edge developments in the low carbon energy sector.

The discussion will cover Peer-to-Peer trading platforms as the natural evolution for Community energy; the very real future for hydrogen fuels and detailed perspectives on how huge fossil fuels giants such as BP can deliver their promises to reach net zero carbon emissions.

Peer-to-peer trading is the idea that excess energy from individuals can be sold via a secure platform to their neighbours. WREN’s ambitious Energy Equality Project, set in Wadebridge, Cornwall, aims to use this technology to alleviate fuel poverty and bring back control of local energy resources to local prosumers.

Converting every aspect of our lives to electricity-based technologies carries a massive shift in infrastructure. Hydrogen gas in our homes and fuel cells in cars offers a considerably smoother transition to a low-carbon society for Great Britain. Planet A are cutting the red-tape to bring this future closer.

Are announcements on the low carbon transitions by international industries just hot air? In August 2020 BP announced an ambitious target to make huge strides in becoming net zero; including reducing emissions from its own operations by 30-35% by 2030. The panel will also touch upon the most likely technologies for investment.

An interactive Q&A session will be moderated by Tevi and aims to reconcile best practice approaches. If you have specific questions for our speakers, please email them to Tevi's Vicky Smyth at v.smyth@exeter.ac.uk.

Producing hydrogen has traditionally been associated with high carbon emissions, but by using renewable electricity, e.g. from an offshore wind farm, the process of producing hydrogen from water (electrolysis) can be completely decarbonised. Energy-intensive industries and the transportation sector will have the opportunity to reduce the carbon intensity of the fuels they produce and consume by using renewable hydrogen.

The Gigastack Consortium will come together to present the findings and results from the feasibility study, Gigastack Phase 1, and how this has shaped consortium ambitions for Phase 2 and beyond for renewable hydrogen in the UK. This webinar will be attended by BEIS, ITM Power, Ørsted, Phillips 66 and Element Energy.

The Fuel Cell Hydrogen Observatory (FCHO) provides data (statistics, facts and analysis) and up to date information about the entire hydrogen sector. Join us for the launch of the FCHO on Tuesday 15th September 2020.

The webinar will provide an opportunity for users to learn more about the information, data and analysis that is available to view on the FCH Observatory and how it can inform policy makers, industry stakeholders and the general public.

This Ideas Forum event will bring together academics from across the Faculty of Science and Engineering with interests in hydrogen as an energy source for achieving NetZero emissions by 2050.

We encourage anyone with interests in production, storage, distribution and utilisation of hydrogen to attend to hear about current and planned research activities across the Faculty and wider university and to meet academics with complementary research interests.

As states in the Northeast increase their climate goals to be net zero by 2050, all are analyzing how they can get there and looking at alternative scenarios. Many reports are revealing that even with offshore wind, solar, long-duration storage, and electrification of vehicles and some building heat, there will still be gaps in providing clean energy for both consumer and commercial transportation, some energy intensive industrial processes, and building heating.

With news coming from around the world about the increasing feasibility of hydrogen to be cost competitive with other zero carbon solutions, it is worth asking the question “Is hydrogen technology mature enough to help the Northeast reach its GHG emission reduction goals?”

NECEC will convene stakeholders in all aspects of the hydrogen industry from both the public and private sector to discuss the opportunities and challenges of developing the infrastructure for a local green hydrogen economy. We’ll hear from industry leaders about case studies from other parts of the world and learn lessons about what is working and what is not, about appropriate steps in building up a green hydrogen economy, and how the public sector is working in partnership with private investors and industry to build out early projects.

Given the concerns for health and welfare in the current environment, the event will be virtual.

A Transatlantic Approach to Carbon-Free Mobility: Hydrogen and Beyond

This event will explore German and California perspectives on mastering the transition to clean transportation. Hear from industry, research and state representatives on how hydrogen can contribute to cleaner transportation!

Join us for the discussion on what technological innovation is needed to provide the infrastructure to achieve a more sustainable way to move.

The event is part of a trade mission of select German technology companies supplying innovations in hydrogen, charging infrastructure and alternative fuel generation. This project is supported by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy.

“Fueling the Future” will facilitate active discussions between all clean transportation stakeholders. The event will enable the conversation on innovation in both light and heavy-duty transportation. Hear about lessons learned in Germany and what California and Germany can learn from one another, on the technological as well as regulatory level.
