Research Themes

Fuel Cells, hydrogen production and storage

The research looks at the testing of hydrogen and fuel cells for vehicles and for power systems in buildings. Higher efficiencies and lower emissions are the key benefits, and zero-carbon is the ultimate aim of this technology.

Key projects:

  • The Hydrogen and Fuel Cells Doctoral Training Centre
  • SUPPLY CHAIN RESEARCH APPLIED TO CLEAN HYDROGEN (SCRATCH)
  • Polymer-based hydrogen storage materials
  • Designing Novel High Capacity Multicomponent Hydrides for Near-Ambient Solid State Hydrogen Stores
