HYDROGEN ROUNDTABLE:
Unlocking the hydrogen potential of the South West and South Wales
A roadmap for regional growth through hydrogen innovation.
South West England and South Wales have the opportunity to become a leading hydrogen growth corridor, building on the region's strengths in research, industry, renewable energy and strategic infrastructure.
The GW-SHIFT Hydrogen Roundtable, held at the House of Commons, brought together leaders from government, academia and industry to explore how hydrogen can drive regional growth. This report captures the key insights, opportunities and recommendations from the discussion, setting out the actions needed to unlock investment, foster innovation and accelerate the region's hydrogen economy.

NET BENEFIT AI:
Scaling Solutions, Opening Opportunities
Defining the responsible role for AI in the energy transition.
Artificial intelligence is increasingly pivotal to the global energy transition, offering new ways to optimise and decarbonise our systems. The ‘Net Benefit AI’ report, launched by the Climate Action Coalition in partnership with Google during the London Climate Action Week, explores how AI can accelerate this shift.
Ahead of the report's release, the taskforce gathered evidence through five virtual roundtables in May and June 2026, exploring the impact of AI on grids, industry, transport, and data centres.
A key case study featured is HyChain, an AI-enhanced platform developed by Dr Shuya Zhong and Professor Mi Tian at the University of Bath through the GW-SHIFT programme. By translating complex hydrogen supply chain models into actionable insights, the platform enables SMEs and regional authorities to evaluate production, storage, and emissions scenarios, lowering barriers to informed decision-making.
This report is a vital resource for understanding the responsible integration of digital innovation, offering essential strategies for anyone working to achieve net-zero goals.

FUELLING REGIONAL GROWTH:
Hydrogen Report
Explore the green hydrogen opportunity for business and innovation.
South West England and South Wales are at the forefront of the UK’s clean energy transition, and green hydrogen is central to that future.
Our ‘South Wales and South West England Hydrogen Economy Report’ sets out what this means for SMEs, investors and policymakers across the region, and why now is the time to engage.
With the UK green hydrogen market forecast to be worth £30-£90 billion by 2050 (Optimat Wood, 2022), the opportunities arising are significant. For regions with strong industrial heritage, port infrastructure, renewable energy assets and research excellence, the potential is even greater.
