Cranfield University has announced that it will head the UK's involvement in the Global Hydrogen Production Technologies Centre (HyPT), an international effort geared towards making low-cost, large-scale, net zero hydrogen production achievable.
The HyPT is a five-year, £14.1 million ($17.45 million) initiative that aims to advance net zero hydrogen technologies in order to make them affordable, at around one dollar per kilogram of hydrogen.
Cranfield University researchers will examine the social and environmental system changes required to develop a global hydrogen economy, including how to make it cheap and the impact of production on local people and ecosystems.
