Hydrogen economy virtual talk

A LIVE virtual discussion on the ‘hydrogen economy’ will include a talk from University of Portsmouth expert Dr Amitava Roy. The ‘hydrogen economy’ is the use of hydrogen as a low carbon energy source instead of natural gas and fossil fuels, and the technology has seen investment and more mainstream use in recent months. Dr Roy is an expert in renewable energy systems who is currently researching hydrogen energy, batteries and carbon capturing technologies. He will discuss his research, and the challenges and opportunities around hydrogen energy systems. Dr Roy, from the School of Energy and Electronic Engineering, said: ‘This event is important because using hydrogen to replace fossil fuels could be an absolute game changer. We need to develop hydrogen technologies further and make hydrogen more mainstream, so discussions like this are crucial to implement that advancement and change.’ The event has been organised by Clean Growth UK, an organisation that provides and brokers support focused on developing innovations, commercialising ideas, and securing funding for businesses on a mission to protect the planet for future generations. It is due to take place on September 10. Tickets cost £2 and proceeds from ticket sales will go to National Energy Action and Energy Action Scotland, charities working to end fuel poverty.
