Green hydrogen facility set for Bath IAAPS site
A green hydrogen production plant is set to be built at Bath University’s new Institute for Advanced Automotive Propulsion Systems (IAAPS) site.
The IAAPS research facility, located at the Bristol and Bath Science Park, becomes operational this summer with the new hydrogen production and storage facility to follow in spring 2023.
The hydrogen facility has been made possible due to a successful £2.5m bid to the UK Research Partnership Innovation Fund (RPIF) and will allow IAAPS to sustainably produce the gas for its research and testing work.
It aims to address several key objectives for IAAPS. These include decarbonising the energy used on site, and supporting research into sustainable propulsion technologies with the use of hydrogen as an alternative green energy to achieve net zero targets in sectors such as aviation, marine, off-highway and heavy-duty transport.
The Green Hydrogen Plant also aims to act as a regional and national demonstrator for local green energy generation and use, as well as a catalyst for the adoption of hydrogen across a wide range of applications.
