UK-Vietnam Network for Hydrogen & Related Technologies
Green hydrogen is identified as a key solution to decarbonise industries such as steelmaking, chemicals, cements, and long-haul transportation, helping achieve the Net Zero. With abundant renewable energies, Vietnam has considerable potential to generate green hydrogen at affordable costs to decarbonise its economy while maintaining its business strength and improving the wellbeing of people, and act as a hydrogen hub for neighbouring countries, joining the global’s efforts in combating the climate change.
We are establishing a UK-Vietnam network for Hydrogen and Related Technologies that connects internationally recognised academics in hydrogen from top universities in UK and Vietnam with experts in industry and policymaking to discuss challenges and opportunities ranging from hydrogen production, developing effective and reliable infrastructure for hydrogen storage and distribution, and utilising hydrogen for industrial decarbonisation (such as steelmaking, cements and chemicals) to developing transitional business models for a hydrogen economy.
As part of this network, we will organise:
1) An one-day short course on hydrogen with focus on (i) hydrogen production, (ii) design and evaluation of hydrogen infrastructure, (iii) use of hydrogen for industrial decarbonisation (such as steelmaking and cements)
2) A scientific Discussion on important aspects related to advances and challenges in green hydrogen production, infrastructure for hydrogen, industrial decarbonisation using hydrogen.
3) Industrial visit
