UK government announces UK hydrogen strategy
The UK hydrogen strategy, published yesterday, sets out the Government’s ambition to kick-start a “hydrogen revolution” that, it says, will support over 9,000 jobs and unlock £4bn investment by the end of this decade. The government plans to deliver 5GW of hydrogen production capacity by 2030, estimating that the industry could be worth £900m. The potential…

A new material for proton exchange membrane cells
Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) have shown promise for a while, but their performance to date has been limited by the proton conductivity of their membrane materials. Researchers around the world have been working on porous materials that will provide three-dimensional frameworks for conduction, and now a team led from the University of Liverpool…
