Beyond the technology, UK-HyRES explores the wider factors that shape the hydrogen transition. Our cross-cutting themes address policy, economics, environmental impacts, and social equity, helping ensure that hydrogen solutions are sustainable, inclusive, and aligned with broader net zero goals. These themes inform and guide our work across all technical areas. The project details for cross-cutting themes are available by following the links below.
