The UK Hydrogen Innovation Opportunity: Hydrogen Technology Roadmaps

This report lays out roadmaps for the nine technology families identified in the UK Hydrogen Innovation Opportunity. The content in these roadmaps has been developed through a combination of extensive industrial engagement and aggregation of existing sector and technology roadmaps. This document also signposts to reports that highlight innovation challenges and opportunities for two underpinning technology families - materials and digital. The technology roadmaps in this document each include the following:
♦ UK and global market forecast for 2030 and 2050 for the respective technology family.
♦ Key technologies that make up the technology family.
♦ The associated innovation opportunities associated with each key technology together with development and industrialisation timelines and the sectors that will benefit from the innovation.
The list of innovation opportunities on each roadmap is by no means exhaustive, but they are a sample that were selected because they highlighted some key innovation actions for the UK. To make this selection, a range of factors were considered including global and UK economic demand, the UK political imperative and UK potential to win market share. The development and industrialisation timelines are recommendations only and do not signify that this work is already planned or funded.
