Marcus Walls-Bruck, Head of Hydrogen Technologies at the National Composites Centre presented at the Hydrogen Innovation Showcase, highlighting the innovative projects taking place across the UK in hydrogen, featuring key players in the hydrogen landscape.
From HI-ACT we were delighted to have Professor Tapas Mallick presenting, and a key member of the panel session on ‘where are we and where are we going’.
The event also included a talk by Toyota Motor Manufacturing UK, Technical Director on Hydrogen’s role in decarbonisation, discussing their longevity of the market, and included work on Hydrogen fuel cells they have been undertaking for the last 30 years.
It is safe to say The Hydrogen Innovation Showcase was a huge success with many insightful talks, rapid-fire pitches from innovative SMEs, engrossing panel discussions and last but by no means least our hubs’ research.
Thank you to all who contributed to this successful event, it was an inspiring experience, and wonderful to see such valuable positivity in the room.
