UK-HyRES: Production Research Challenges: Report on Online Workshop

UK-HyRES Workshop 2 took place on the 16 June 2022 and was conducted online via Zoom at 09:3012:30 with 104 attendees (~ 60% >2hrs). Building on the project launch event in May 2022, Workshop 2 focused on the Production of Hydrogen. This is a summary report of the workshop compiled by UK-HyRES researchers Raj Jagpal (Bath), Diarmid Roberts (Sheffield) and Mengfei Zhang (Warwick) and reviewed and approved by the project investigator and management teams. The purpose of the workshop was to bring together key and diverse stakeholders from across the hydrogen community to debate and distil the key challenges that must be overcome to achieve hydrogen production on the scale of the 10 GW by 2030 targeted by the UK government. The workshop was strategically framed around the Theory of Change, Figure 1, which allows for a systematic unpacking of the key research challenges, opportunities and outcomes, guided by the strategic drivers and the added value of change. Facilitation was provided by The Collective, and the agenda (Appendix A) was discussed and agreed by the project teams prior to the workshop.
