Introducing HSTEA – Powering Sustainable Transport with Hydrogen

Introducing HSTEA – Powering Sustainable Transport with Hydrogen

Join us for this informative session introducing the Hydrogen & Sustainable Transport Economy Accelerator (HSTEA).

The West of England is paving the way for the hydrogen revolution. The region boasts a cluster of high-value engineering and tech companies and is home to nationally renowned R&D facilities. You’ll find the world-leading advanced propulsion R&I centre, IAAPS, the National Composite Centre (NCC), GKN’s Global Technology Centre, and Airbus’ Zero Emission Development Centre (ZEDC) right on the doorstep, making it a thriving location to advance developments in the green hydrogen space.

Our focus isn’t just on de-carbonising heavy industry. The work already taking place across the West of England is transforming well-established sectors, securing the UK’s competitive edge. What sets us apart? We’re skipping the carbon capture and ‘blue hydrogen’ methods, going straight into green hydrogen production.

In this webinar, you’ll get a front-row seat to the fusion of academia and industry, where we dive deep into the wealth of hydrogen research happening across West of England. You’ll discover how your business can harness the

power of hydrogen technologies to make a visible transformation towards cleaner and more sustainable operations and have the opportunity to learn more about the unrivaled support you’ll receive when you join the HSTEA Programme.
