What is public engagement and why does it matter?
Why should universities, government, and industry engage with the public? What impact can it have – and how might it influence your own work?
Join us for an engaging webinar exploring public engagement, its value across sectors, and how it drives meaningful outcomes. Through real-world case studies which have employed deliberative dialogue, we’ll look at different approaches, what was learned, and how these insights were applied in practice, including their impact on policy. This webinar brings together researchers, policymakers, industry professionals, and members of the public to explore the power and potential of public engagement.
You’ll hear from those behind the case studies, followed by a panel discussion with offering you the chance to ask questions and engage directly with the speakers. Whether you’re new to public engagement or looking to deepen your understanding, this event will offer valuable perspectives on how deliberation and dialogue can enrich research and policy.
Hydrogen safety demystified: key insights for a low-carbon future
Discover what it takes to safely harness hydrogen for your projects, products, or policies.
As sustainable hydrogen plays an increasingly important role in our transition to a low-carbon future, understanding hydrogen safety is critical.
Join us for this one-hour online session with Professor Joan Cordiner, an expert in process safety, to explore the key considerations around hydrogen and how industries manage its risks across production, storage, transport, and use.
Unlocking Hydrogen with Ammonia
The Hydrogen Carrier Fuelling our Net Zero Future
Hydrogen has long been hailed as a key player in the transition to Net Zero. However, storing, moving, and utilising it at scale still presents significant technical and economic challenges. So, what if the solution lies in a molecule we’ve known and used for over a century? Ammonia, a hydrogen vector with great potential for off-the-grid applications, can immediately start supporting decarbonisation targets, offering a practical and scalable pathway to accelerate the clean energy transition.
In this session, Professor Agustin Valera-Medina, Director of the Net Zero Innovation Institute at Cardiff University and lead of the GW-SHIFT theme Conversion, explores the critical role of ammonia as a hydrogen carrier and as a powerful zero-carbon fuel in its own right.

Operational safety for Hydrogen Applications Webinar
Join us for this one-hour informative webinar, delivered by NVFCL (Northern Valve & Fitting Company Limited), that will cover best practice of using hydrogen gas in pressurised systems safely.
The session is designed to equip professionals with essential knowledge for working safely with hydrogen systems. This session will provide a practical introduction and overview of key safety considerations, including venting and purging, gas detection, ignition source control, PPE, storage, and training. We’ll also delve into critical components such as materials compatibility, joint types, tube selection, and an introduction to the 6D and 20D series.
GW-SHIFT Seminar Series - Hydrogen in Offshore Renewable Energy Integration
Offshore renewable energy, specifically wind, tidal stream and wave power, holds massive potential for shaping a cleaner, more sustainable energy future. But what if we could take it a step further? By integrating hydrogen production into offshore energy systems, we can unlock even greater opportunities for providing green energy.
Join Professor Deborah Greaves OBE FREng, Professor in Ocean Engineering, and Dr Yeaw Chu Lee, Associate Professor in Mechanical Engineering, both from the University of Plymouth, as they delve into the exciting possibilities of harnessing offshore renewable energy to create hydrogen, as well as the dynamics of liquid hydrogen sloshing in storage and transport, such as in aircraft fuel tanks.

GW-SHIFT Seminar Series - Hydrogen Storage Explained
Join this engaging webinar, led by Jemma Rowlandson, lecturer in Thermodynamics at the University of Bristol and lead for the GW-SHIFT theme Storage & Distribution. It will explore the challenges and opportunities of hydrogen storage, cutting-edge innovations and research in this area, and the pathway forward.
Despite its enormous potential as a clean fuel, hydrogen take-up has, so far, been limited because, unlike petrol or diesel, you can’t just pour it into a tank. To harness the full potential of hydrogen as an energy carrier, we need storage solutions.
In this engaging presentation and discussion, Jemma will explore how we harness this potential and demonstrate how hydrogen storage presents a substantial opportunity for innovation and market growth.
GW-SHIFT Seminar Series - Exploring green hydrogen production
The Green at the end of the Hydrogen rainbow
Green hydrogen is emerging as a cornerstone of the global transition to clean energy. Unlike grey or blue hydrogen, which are derived from fossil fuels, green hydrogen is produced using renewable energy sources, making it a truly sustainable and zero-carbon solution. With the UK’s geography and resources, it represents an area of unique economic opportunity whilst combating climate change.
Hydrogen 101: Opportunities and Challenges in the Alternative Fuel Market
Join an insightful seminar session from Professor Tim Mays, a leading expert in the field of sustainable energy, as he explores the potential of hydrogen and its carriers, such as ammonia, to play a pivotal role in achieving these goals.
