New global consortium to advance net zero hydrogen

The Global Hydrogen Production Technologies Center (HyPT) is a £14.1m five-year programme featuring almost 20 universities from across the UK, US, Canada and Australia. Cranfield University, Arizona State University, the University of Toronto, and the University of Adelaide will lead separate strands of the project in their respective countries. While the other country leads will each explore a different method of net zero hydrogen production, Cranfield will examine the economic, social and environmental system changes needed to build a global hydrogen economy, as well as the impact production has on local communities and ecosystems.

“HyPT is a transformative international collaboration dedicated to driving the development of a sustainable hydrogen ecosystem,” said UK research lead Nazmiye Ozkan, Professor in Sustainable Energy Transitions and head of the Centre for Energy Systems and Strategy at Cranfield University.

“Our mission is to unlock the potential of Net Zero hydrogen production making it an accessible and affordable energy source.
