Research funding and coordination

Hydrogen produced from renewable electricity sources, considered a critical component for hydrogen's long-term credibility as a clean fuel.

Technology for hydrogen production mentioned as likely component of the Tsuruga project's supply chain.

Pressurized tanks made from carbon-fiber-based composite materials designed to store hydrogen safely. These tanks are lighter and more thermally stable than legacy metal-based systems, making them suitable for aerospace and long-haul trucking applications.

Wales

A research hub at Wrexham University focused on hydrogen infrastructure, industrial decarbonization, and clean manufacturing. The facility includes testbeds for hydrogen systems and domains for composite structures, designed to act as a launchpad for industrial partnerships and prototyping.
