Newton Fund - Practical hydrogen fuelled vehicles for China

中国政府已经优先考虑通过使用可再生能源和汽车中的氢能源来实现能源脱碳和解决空气质量问题。该项目由公司牵头，为期24个月，将研究在中国开发大众市场氢燃料汽车的实际挑战，特别是商用车、“绿色”制氢的新途径以及相关的储氢方法，这些方法将有针对性地设计，以满足中国特定的市场挑战。由英国中小企业ULEMCo Ltd牵头，与华中科技大学武汉新能源研究所（WNEI）和湖北天鹅涂料有限公司合作，该项目的成功将为未来10年内中国1000辆汽车的显著碳减排和超低空气质量排放提供清晰的路线图。

The Chinese government have prioritised the need to decarbonise energy and address air quality problems through the use of hydrogen energy from renewables and into vehicles. This business led, 24 month project will investigate the practical challenges of developing mass market hydrogen fuelled vehicles for China, particularly looking at commercial vehicles, novel routes to “green” hydrogen production and relevant hydrogen storage approaches which will be purposefully designed to meet the specific market challenges in China. Led by UK SME ULEMCo Ltd, for the vehicle and fuelling infrastructure, with Wuhan New Energy Institute (WNEI) of Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) and Hubei Swan Coatings CO., LTD. to bring local Chinese market energy storage capability, the University of Liverpool (UoL) & HUST for a novel H2 production route, success in the project will lead to a clear road map for demonstration of significant carbon reduction and ultra-low air quality emissions for 1000s of vehicles in China, within the next 10 years.
