PROJECTS
Technical Themes
UK-HyRES brings together leading researchers to tackle the key technological challenges of a hydrogen-based energy system. Our technical themes span hydrogen and alternative fuel production, storage, integration, and end use, supporting innovation across the entire value chain. These focus areas are critical to accelerating the development and deployment of low-carbon fuels at scale.
Production
PT1.1 – Functional electrolysis electrodes Following important advances in applying exsolution catalysts to high temperature solid oxide electrolysis, here we seek to apply this to low temperature electrolysis.
Storage & Distribution
PT2.1: Solid-state hydrogen storage materials for aerospace applications This five-year core research project which started on 1 June 2023 at the University of Bath involves the discovery
End of Use
PT3.1: Low cost and durable catalysts for zero-emission hydrogen and ammonia combustion This five-year core research project which started on 1 June 20023
Alternative Liquid Fuels
PT4.1 Alternative Liquid Fuels This five-year core research project which started on 1 June 2023 at the University of Warwick involves the discovery, identification / selection

Showcase October 2022
On Friday the 21st October we held our rescheduled interactive and participatory workshop. There was an amazing response from across the hydrogen community with over 90 participants. Facilitated by The Collective, we first heard from Prof Tim Mays, who welcomed all attendees, before Prof Rachael Rothman introduced our vision for the Hub.

Coordination Phase (2022-23) Launch Workshop Outcomes
The UK-HyRES launch workshop took place online with the project team present in person at the Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution following a Board meeting in the morning. There was excellent engagement across academia, industry, government, consultancies, consortia and NGOs with over 130 attendees, many staying on for the full three hours.

End Use Workshop 2022
The end use of hydrogen is crucial to accelerating the uptake of hydrogen and alternative liquid fuels in pursuit of net zero. In the workshop we watched an enlightening video, recommended by Nigel Holmes (Scottish Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association) and produced by Ben Burman, summarising the motivation and challenges in hydrogen uptake.
