Loughborough researcher awarded Royal Academy of Engineering Fellowship to advance green hydrogen production
In the UK, Loughborough University reported that a Loughborough University researcher has been awarded a Royal Academy of Engineering Research Fellowship to develop technology that could help tackle one of the biggest challenges facing renewable energy systems.
The Fellowships, funded by the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade (BIST), provide researchers with the freedom and support to pursue ambitious engineering research that addresses major societal and industrial challenges.
Ashton has been awarded funding for her project, AIM-Hy: Advanced Imaging and Materials Development for Hydrogen Production from Battery-Electrolyzer Systems, which seeks to combine energy storage and green hydrogen production within a single device.
Ashton’s research will develop innovative battery-electrolyzer systems capable of both storing renewable electricity and producing green hydrogen.
The technology has the potential to reduce the cost of green hydrogen production, prevent renewable energy curtailment and improve energy security. It could also help communities with limited grid infrastructure make better use of locally generated renewable energy.
