The North West of England has the industry, infrastructure and innovation to make hydrogen energy a reality.
The North West Hydrogen Alliance brings together some of the UK’s most influential organisations developing the region as the UK’s primary hydrogen economy.
Take a look at the hydrogen projects happening in the North West
Following the success of the inaugural hydrogen showcase event, held at the Heath in Runcorn, the North West Hydrogen Alliance will be bringing stakeholders together again to discuss how the North West can collaborate to deliver pioneering hydrogen projects that set the standard for the UK and contribute to meeting our net zero goals.
Net Zero North West
The North West Hydrogen Alliance is a key partner in Net Zero North West – the organisation driving industrial decarbonisation in the region, which aims to become the UK’s first net zero carbon industrial cluster by 2030.
A key part of the North West’s decarbonisation approach is the work taking place to develop a hydrogen network in the region.
