The 2008 Climate Change Act has set the UK a legal obligation to reduce CO₂ emissions by 80% by 2025. To do this we need to find ways of decarbonising our energy systems.  Hydrogen could provide clean energy for our homes, businesses and transport networks.

Hydrogen is a chemical element that exists naturally and unlike fossil fuels will never run out. It offers a way to deliver low carbon energy because when it is burned it doesn’t produce CO₂, just water and heat.

A flexible energy source, it is already being used to manage the electricity grid, fuel vehicle fleets and industry. Helping to meet climate change and clean air targets, hydrogen could be a vital part of the UK’s low carbon energy future. Decades of research, development and testing have shown that hydrogen technology is a workable, economically viable alternative to fossil fuels which could be deployed across the UK.

The North West Hydrogen Alliance brings together some of the UK’s most influential organisations driving forward the work to develop the region as the UK’s primary hydrogen economy
