Hydrogen Wales

Welcome to H2 Wales.

This web site has been established to provide information on the transition to a hydrogen based energy future, in general and hydrogen activities in Wales in particular. The site was originally set up as part of the Objective 1 part-funded project “A Sustainable Energy Supply for Wales : Towards the Hydrogen Economy”. It continues to inform on all activities geared towards the transition to a hydrogen economy in Wales.

The Centre is being built at the Baglan Energy Park, South Wales and will be one of the first of its kind. Hydrogen will be produced from renewable sources and will be used in the building and, in a 2nd phase, for refueling vehicles. A current photo of the site during construction is shown below.

Hydrogen is seen as a versatile energy carrier of the future, complementary to electricity and with the potential to replace fossil fuels.

Sustainably produced hydrogen can be the basis of a low carbon economy, delivering a reduction in emissions of carbon dioxide and other atmospheric pollutants, with the associated benefit of security of supply and the possibility of an infrastructure based on distributed generation.

		MSc Renewable Energy and Resource Management This MSc course is delivered on a modular basis by members of the Sustainable Environment Research Centre (SERC). It addresses current worldwide concerns about climate change, renewable energy supply, low carbon economy and sustainable management of water and solid resources. The course has now been running for 3 years and has currently 27 students. After studying this course, students have found employment in renewable energy industry and also energy and environmental consultancy companies. For more information please contact Dr. Sandra Esteves (sesteves@glam.ac.uk).	Hydrogen Research Unit The University of Glamorgan's Hydrogen Research Unit (HRU) investigates the sustainable production and use of hydrogen.The HRU is part of the University's Sustainable Environment Research Centre (SERC). Staff are involved in a lnumber of research projects on aspects of hydrogen including biologically produced hydrogen from non-food crops and organic wastes. Hydrogen can be made by fermentation of co-products from other industries such as the flour industry. Research is being undertaken at both laboratory scale and at pilot scale.
