UK-HyRES: Hub for Research Challenges in Hydrogen and Alternative Liquid Fuels

一个繁荣、低碳的氢气行业对于英国用更清洁、更绿色的能源系统重建更好的计划至关重要。在一些排放量最高、最难脱碳的经济领域，氢气具有减少排放的潜力，这些领域必须迅速转型，才能实现净零排放目标。为了实现这一目标，将需要大量的低碳氢气和替代液体燃料。这些必须被储存和运输到他们的使用点。整个价值链仍然存在重大的研究挑战，研究人员、行业和政策制定者必须跨学科合作，推动氢和替代液体燃料作为能源载体和原料的大规模实施。英国-海利斯旗舰中心将确定、优先考虑并提供解决方案，以应对广泛采用氢气和替代液体燃料必须克服的研究挑战。这将是英国研究界的一个焦点，无论是那些已经参与氢气研究的人，还是那些未来必须参与的人。英国-海利斯中心将为基础研究提供一个网络和合作平台，需要科学家、工程师、社会科学家和其他人的共同努力。英国-海瑞斯团队将协调一项全国性的跨学科研究计划，以确保一系列项目能够提供安全、可接受、环境、经济和社会可持续的氢气和替代液体燃料技术的商业化，使化石燃料与我们的能源系统脱钩，并提供更绿色的能源。我们打算，在其五年资助窗口内及以后，英国海瑞斯将在国际上被公认为氢气和替代液体燃料研究的卓越和有影响力的全球中心。

A thriving, low carbon hydrogen sector is essential for the UK's plans to build back better with a cleaner, greener energy system. Hydrogen has the potential to reduce emissions in some of the highest-emitting and most difficult to decarbonise areas of the economy, which must be transformed rapidly to meet Net Zero targets. To achieve this, large amounts of low carbon hydrogen and alternative liquid fuels will be needed. These must be stored and transported to their point of use. There remain significant research challenges across the whole value chain and researchers, industry and policy makers must work collaboratively and across disciplines to drive forward large-scale implementation of hydrogen and alternative liquid fuels as energy vectors and feedstocks.The flagship UK-HyRES hub will identify, prioritise and deliver solutions to research challenges that must be overcome for widespread adoption of hydrogen and alternative liquid fuels. It will be a focus for the UK research community, both those who are already involved in hydrogen research and those who must be involved in future. The UK-HyRES hub will provide a network and collaboration platform for fundamental research, requiring the combined efforts of scientists, engineers, social scientists and others. The UK-HyRES team will coordinate a national, interdisciplinary programme of research to ensure a pipeline of projects that can deliver commercialisation of hydrogen and alternative liquid fuel technologies that are safe, acceptable, and environmentally, economically and socially sustainable, de-coupling fossil fuels from our energy system and delivering greener energy. We intend that, within its five-year funding window and beyond, UK-HyRES will be recognised internationally as a global centre of excellence and impact in hydrogen and alternative liquid fuel research.
