The Global Hydrogen Production Technologies (HyPT) Center will establish a complementary and comprehensive team with 34 leading scholars from 19 institutions in 6 countries (US, Australia, Canada, UK, Egypt and Germany) to formulate the pathway to large-scale net-zero hydrogen production from a bespoke platform of complementary technologies as an enabler of global decarbonization and with costs competitive to current methods of hydrogen production. The Center will propel three major hydrogen production technologies with strong potential to deliver breakthroughs: (i) water electrolysis including renewable energy integration and emerging electrolyzers; (ii) methane pyrolysis with solid carbon as value-added co-products; and (iii) photocatalytic solar water splitting. The Center will also tackle two major cross-cutting challenges for hydrogen: (i) the socio-economic dimensions to build a hydrogen economy spanning economics, policies and market; and (ii) the water resource/treatment dimensions for electrolysis and photocatalysis. Each funding partner country will lead one thrust area, while researchers from all the countries will be interwoven under the thrust areas to work synergistically with a common goal to accelerate technology development and deployment across the globe. The centre is led Arizona State University in the US with the participation of Cranfield, Birmingham, Cambridge, Imperial College London and Newcastle Universities from the UK.

全球制氢技术中心（HyPT）将与来自6个国家（美国、澳大利亚、加拿大、英国、埃及和德国）19个机构的34位顶尖学者组成一个互补的综合团队，通过一个定制的互补技术平台，制定大规模净零氢生产的途径，作为全球脱碳的推手，并使其成本与目前的制氢方法具有竞争力。该中心将推动三大具有强大突破潜力的制氢技术：(1)水电解，包括可再生能源集成和新兴电解槽；（ii）以固体碳为增值副产物的甲烷热解；（三）光催化太阳能裂解水。该中心还将解决氢的两个主要跨领域挑战：(i)社会经济层面，建立跨越经济、政策和市场的氢经济；（ii）电解和光催化的水资源/处理尺寸。每个资助伙伴国将领导一个重点领域，而来自所有国家的研究人员将在重点领域下相互交织，协同工作，以实现加速全球技术开发和部署的共同目标。该中心由美国亚利桑那州立大学牵头，英国克兰菲尔德大学、伯明翰大学、剑桥大学、伦敦帝国理工学院和纽卡斯尔大学参与。
