Hydrogen

Options to decarbonise the energy system include hydrogen and its derivatives (e.g., ammonia) as energy vectors. The Energy Institute's good practice hydrogen work programme considers the value chain from the various means of hydrogen production through to its different uses. The focus is independent technical and techno-economic research and good practice development, conducted collaboratively with engagement from global operating companies, policy makers, regulators, consultancies, service providers, academia, trade associations and like-minded stakeholder organisations.
The deliverables of the hydrogen work programme should inform decision making by policy makers, enable developers to de-risk projects and provide the basis for safe and sustainable hydrogen value chain operations globally.
The hydrogen work programme focuses on aspects of process safety, asset integrity, environmental assessment (lifecycle analysis), plant design (e.g., filling stations), quality determination (e.g., fuel cell quality) and quantity determination.
