About Hydrogen Pathways

The UK Government’s Hydrogen Strategy was published in August 2021 and forecasts Hydrogen will deliver between 20% and 35% of the total UK energy demand by 2050.

To get business prepared ahead of the curve we're delivering a programme of webinars to raise the profile of Hydrogen, and provide a collaborative platform to discuss the sector specific strategies being implemented to accelerate the transition from carbon-based energy to Hydrogen derived energy.

We will explore the opportunities and challenges that Hydrogen poses, and address the skills development and training needs in key sectors that will enable businesses to deliver their Hydrogen transition strategies.

Your questions and feedback will contribute to the discussion and development of the Hydrogen Academy Programme series, helping the business community and specific sectors get prepared.

Who should attend?

We welcome all businesses with an interest in Hydrogen and its use as a green ‘fuel’, particularly those from sectors anticipating the opportunities and challenges it raises for their business and supply chains, and are looking to identify and develop the skills and training required to successfully implement their Hydrogen transition strategies.
