This report by the Committee on Climate Change (CCC) assesses the potential role of hydrogen in the UK’s low-carbon economy.

Hydrogen in a low-carbon economy (6.81MB)

 

It finds that hydrogen:

  • is a credible option to help decarbonise the UK energy system but its role depends on early Government commitment and improved support to develop the UK’s industrial capability
  • can make an important contribution to long-term decarbonisation if combined with greater energy efficiency, cheap low-carbon power generation, electrified transport and new ‘hybrid’ heat pump systems, which have been successfully trialled in the UK
  • could replace natural gas in parts of the energy system, where electrification is not feasible or is prohibitively expensive, for example in providing heat on colder winter days, industrial heat processes and back-up power generation
  • is not a ‘silver bullet’ solution; the report explores some commonly-held misconceptions, highlighting the need for careful planning

The report’s key recommendations are:

  • Government must commit to developing a low-carbon heat strategy within the next three years
  • Significant volumes of low-carbon hydrogen should be produced in a carbon capture and storage (CCS) ‘cluster’ by 2030 to help the industry grow
  • Government must support the early demonstration of the everyday uses of hydrogen in order to establish the practicality of switching from natural gas to hydrogen
  • There is low awareness amongst the general public of reasons to move away from natural gas heating to low-carbon alternatives
  • A strategy should be developed for low-carbon heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) which encourages a move away from fossil fuels and biofuels to zero-emission solutions by 2050

Following the success of last year’s conference CATCH are again partnering with Phillips 66 to host a conference that will focus on how we embed Behavioural Safety.  Understanding Occupational Psychology and getting buy in from critical mass.

The event will be a full day at CATCH on 20 June.

Behaviour Based Safety is designed and managed by employees resulting in a truly employee driven process.  In addition, behaviour based safety is a more positive process that places greater emphasis on employee involvement in  the use of the observation data, to developing action plans for continuous improvement.  As a result, behaviour based safety creates a much higher and more consistent level of feedback supporting safer workplace practices.

CATCH are seeking member case studies to include in the afternoon from companies willing to share their own experiences of Behaviour based safety.

Sponsorship opportunities are also available – Sponsorship booking form 20 Jun 19

Interested in the myths and truths around Battery Storage? Wondering how much DSR is worth to you? Thinking about spikes, flexibility and managing price volatility? Looking to reduce costs, lower your carbon footprint and make your operations more sustainable? Hear from industry leading experts from Engie and KiWi Power:  Pete Murray from Engie will cover the technical elements of DSR  Cynthia Granger from Kiwi Power will cover MCPD and how DSR can help.
