Greater Manchester Electro-chemical Hydrogen Cluster

GMECH将提供氢气技术的创新加速器。它包括两个方面：(1)与燃料电池和电解槽的材料挑战和测量挑战有关的技术创新；(2)通过商业模式和产品创新活动建设中小企业的能力。GMECH集群将在大曼彻斯特和曼彻斯特燃料电池创新中心、曼彻斯特大学、亨利·罗伊斯研究所和国家物理实验室(NPL)现有优势的基础上，形成更广泛的创新生态系统的关键要素，包括价值链的所有要素。这将成为国家氢气发展计划的重要组成部分，加速清洁、高效的电化学氢技术的开发和采用，并使大曼彻斯特地区处于国际领先的研发、创造高技能工作岗位的核心地位，并推动外来投资。

GMECH will deliver an Innovation Accelerator for hydrogen technologies. It has 2 strands (1) technical innovation, in relation to the materials challenges & measurement challenges for Fuel Cells and Electrolysers and (2) SME capacity building through Business Model and Product Innovation activityThe GMECH Cluster will form a critical element of a wider innovation eco-system with all elements of the value chain, building upon existing strengths in Greater Manchester and the Manchester Fuel Cell innovation Centre, the University of Manchester, Henry Royce Institute, and the National Physical Laboratories (NPL). This will form a vital part of a national hydrogen development programme, accelerating the development and adoption of clean, efficient electrochemical hydrogen technologies and put Greater Manchester at the core of internationally leading R&D, the creation of highly skilled jobs, and drive inward investment.
