Hydrogen UK is at the vanguard of the energy transition, catalysing a shift towards a decarbonised power system. We believe in a future where every watt of electricity is generated with minimal impact on our environment, and hydrogen is a critical piece of the sustainability puzzle.
Recognised for its flexibility and clean-burning properties, hydrogen is set to play a pivotal role in the UK’s energy mix. It serves as a versatile energy carrier that can store and deliver large amounts of renewable energy, ensuring a stable, secure, and sustainable power supply.
Hydrogen provides a solution to one of the most significant challenges in renewable energy: intermittency. By converting excess wind and solar energy into hydrogen, we can store it for times when the sun isn’t shining, and the wind isn’t blowing.
Complimentary to battery and other forms of energy storage, hydrogen can be stored in larger quantities for longer durations, offering a robust buffer that enhances grid reliability and resilience, especially during seasonal demand or supply shortfalls.
Hydrogen’s ability to be converted back into electricity through fuel cells or turbines makes it an excellent candidate for clean dispatchable power generation. Hydrogen UK is championing the integration of hydrogen technologies into the power generation landscape.
