Hydrogen VisionThe world is facing its greatest challenge, in order to avert a climate catastrophe, CO2 emissions must be reduced. Hydrogen systems will play a key role in our low carbon future, however, there are many barriers to their commercial exploitation which need to be overcome. The innovation path leading us to this future will consist in the short term of developing and bringing to market niche and/or hybrid systems. This will establish hydrogen systems as a viable technology and pave the way for more widespread incorporation of hydrogen technology in our everyday life, from personal electronic equipment to stationary back-up power systems and the most challenging application / automobiles. At Nottingham we have patented hydrogen storage materials which we are keen to research and develop for early-to-market hydrogen technologies. This proposal will: lead to a major advance in this research; leading to innovative solutions for exploiting these materials; facilitate my own deeper understanding of the roadmap to potential hydrogen futures, thereby identifying early to market opportunities; and deepen my understanding of the broader low carbon technology field.The OpportunityThe Carbon Vision Initiative aims to support outstanding scientists and engineers as they become world leaders in low-carbon research. This proposal will help develop the leadership attributes of the PI and take the innovative research undertaken at Nottingham forward towards commercialisation . This is an exciting opportunity to develop the career of a successful young academic working in a field of low-carbon research. In order to enhance the PI's breadth and depth of expertise, the following priorities have been identified:- to expand portfolio of internationally leading research in low-carbon technology- to build-up understanding of the challenges and opportunities in the broader low-carbon research area (e.g. technological challenges and barriers to commercialisation)- to establish an extensive network with global leaders from academia and industry across a range of relevant technologies.- the dissemination of low-carbon research outcomes and opportunities to stakeholders

氢愿景世界正面临着最大的挑战，为了避免气候灾难，必须减少二氧化碳的排放。氢系统将在我们的低碳未来中发挥关键作用，然而，它们的商业开发有许多障碍需要克服。引领我们走向这一未来的创新之路，将包括短期内开发并将利基和/或混合系统推向市场。这将使氢系统成为一种可行的技术，并为氢技术在我们日常生活中的更广泛应用铺平道路，从个人电子设备到固定式备用电源系统，再到最具挑战性的应用/汽车。在诺丁汉，我们已经获得了储氢材料的专利，我们热衷于研究和开发早期上市的氢技术。这一建议将导致这一研究的重大进展；为开发这些材料提供创新的解决方案；帮助我自己更深入地了解潜在的氢期货路线图，从而识别早期的市场机会；加深了我对更广阔的低碳技术领域的了解。碳愿景倡议旨在支持杰出的科学家和工程师成为世界低碳研究的领导者。该提案将有助于发展PI的领导属性，并将诺丁汉大学进行的创新研究推向商业化。这是一个令人兴奋的机会，可以发展一个在低碳研究领域工作的成功的年轻学者的职业生涯。为了提高PI专业知识的广度和深度，已确定以下优先事项：-扩大国际领先的低碳技术研究组合-建立对更广泛的低碳研究领域的挑战和机遇的理解（例如技术挑战和商业化障碍）-与来自学术界和工业界的全球领导者建立广泛的网络，涉及一系列相关技术。-向利益相关者传播低碳研究成果和机会
