Funding opportunities for hydrogen and sustainable transport

Wednesday 2 July 2025
12:00 - 13:00

Learn how GW-SHIFT and the Hydrogen and Sustainable Transport Economy Accelerator (HSTEA) can support the development of your hydrogen-focused products, services, or local authority and public sector organisation initiatives.

GW-SHIFT provides research support through university collaboration to help develop your innovations, while both GW-SHIFT and HSTEA offer access to grant and equity funding to grow your business.

You’ll hear real-world examples of support already provided to businesses and learn how we can help develop your capabilities in hydrogen and sustainable transport, with a focus on organisations that can make a regional impact in the South West and South Wales.

GW-SHIFT Seminar Series - Hydrogen in Offshore Renewable Energy Integration

Friday 6 June 2025
12:00 - 13:00

The shift towards hydrogen as a critical industrial feedstock is gaining momentum, and for good reason. Hydrogen holds immense potential to decarbonise industries, from steelmaking to chemical manufacturing, offering a clean alternative to fossil fuels. But how do we make this transition?

In this engaging webinar, Jon Maddy, Hydrogen Research Centre Director at the University of South Wales and GW-SHIFT Co-Investigator, explores the role hydrogen will play in shaping the future of industrial processes in the UK and beyond.

GW-SHIFT Seminar Series - Hydrogen in Offshore Renewable Energy Integration

Friday 9 May 2025
12:00 - 13:00

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.

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, delved 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

Friday 4 April 2025
12:00 - 13:00

This engaging webinar, led by Jemma Rowlandson, lecturer in Thermodynamics at the University of Bristol and lead for the GW-SHIFT theme Storage & Distribution, explored 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 explored how we harness this potential and demonstrated how hydrogen storage presents a substantial opportunity for innovation and market growth.

GW-SHIFT Seminar Series - Exploring green hydrogren production

Friday 28 February 2025
12:00 - 13:00

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

Friday 31 January 2025
12:00 - 13:00

This insightful seminar session from Professor Tim Mays, a leading expert in the field of sustainable energy, explores the potential of hydrogen and its carriers, such as ammonia, to play a pivotal role in achieving these goals. This engaging session will provide a comprehensive overview of the hydrogen value chain.
