SUPPLY CHAIN RESEARCH APPLIED TO CLEAN HYDROGEN (SCRATCH)

到2050年，预计氢经济将在英国能源组合中发挥重要作用。氢经济正在逐渐兴起，但生产、分销、利用和营销氢的公司的供应链尚未建立。氢迷你经济存在于石化工厂，这个项目的目标是从伯明翰大学校园开始，在全国范围内更广泛地推广氢迷你经济。该项目将重点关注20家生产氢经济组件的公司，氢经济被视为三种相互关联的技术：-生物质制氢；氢气分配与储存；以及燃料电池芯片对氢的利用。该项目将产生新的研究成果，以促进氢经济，克服经济和技术障碍。如果这个项目取得成功，那么英国将节省多达一半的燃料费用，大大减少排放，并将对大型发电站的需求降至最低。

By 2050, it is expected that the hydrogen economy will play a significant role in the UK energy portfolio. The hydrogen economy is gradually emerging but the supply chain of companies producing hydrogen, distributing it, utilising and marketing it has not yet been established. Hydrogen mini-economies exist on petrochemical sites, and the objective of this project is to spread these more generally across the country, starting with Birmingham University campus. This project will focus on 20 companies which produce components for the hydrogen economy, which is viewed as three linked technologies:- hydrogen from biomass; hydrogen distribution and storage; and hydrogen utilisation by fuel cell chp. The project will produce new research results to facilitate the hydrogen economy, overcoming economic and technical barriers. If this project were successful, then up to half the UK fuel bill could be saved, emissions much reduced and the need for large power stations minimised.
