Durham UK lead on hydrogen fuel research

We're leading a national research project to decarbonise transport through hydrogen-fuelled vehicles and technology. Durham will head up the £1million Network-H2 project working with Government, industry and other universities. Climate change Road, rail, air and marine transport accounts for almost a quarter of Europe's greenhouse gas emissions making it a significant contributor to climate change. Hydrogen offers a clean and renewable alternative to fossil fuels and can bring significant environmental benefits to transport, society and the wider energy system. Hydrogen-powered vehicles only produce heat and water. Renewable electricity Hydrogen can also be made from a variety of domestic resources, such as natural gas, nuclear power and biomass as well as renewable electricity sources like solar and wind energy. Network-H2 will bring together international experts from the energy, road, rail, air and marine transport sectors to support the decarbonisation of the whole transport network.
