How to drive the growth of low carbon hydrogen

In the second episode of ‘The 10 Point Pod’, the speakers will discuss point 2 of the UK Government’s 10 Point Plan which focuses around the high hopes for hydrogen.

Comprising roughly three quarters of the universe’s total mass, hydrogen is perhaps the most vital element on the periodic table. In terms of the energy transition, it will undoubtedly play a critical role in decarbonising fuel sources, providing a green solution to heating homes, driving transport and powering industries. 

Following on from the inaugural piece in this series analysing the UK Government’s 10-point plan, Tim Calver UK&I Executive Director for Energy and Infrastructure at EY, joined by special guest Dr Graham Cooley, CEO of ITM Power and Ed Reed, Editor at Energy Voice discuss point 2, all around driving the growth of low carbon hydrogen.

The episode highlights the following:

  • 2021 has potential to be the most exciting year yet for hydrogen, with the UK government aiming to develop 5GW of low carbon hydrogen production capacity by 2030
  • Blue hydrogen vs green hydrogen
  • Hydrogen as a source to provide a clean source of fuel and heat for our homes, transport and industry and the challenges it presents
  • Hydrogen as a vehicle to import and export renewable power
