The Hydrogen Energy Research Center (H2ERC) in the University of Wyoming’s School of Energy Resources (SER) partnered with
Cardiff University in Wales, United Kingdom, to launch a webinar series that focuses
on emerging topics in hydrogen energy.
The seminar series was created to provide a discussion and networking platform for
researchers at Cardiff University and UW who have interests in hydrogen energy research.
The seminars will cover topics related to all aspects of hydrogen energy and its integration
into the whole energy system. Science, engineering, economics, and public and policy
challenges related to hydrogen energy and its value chain will be covered in future
seminars.
The Hydrogen Energy Research Center (H2ERC) aims to lead applied research and collaborate with Wyoming stakeholders to support
growth of a hydrogen industry focused on serving the state’s existing energy customers
and growing new markets. Research in H2ERC focuses on all forms of clean hydrogen
including low-cost coal via gasification, natural gas resources via methane reforming,
high-capacity wind energy via electrolysis, potential for solar, nuclear, and more.
The Net Zero Innovation Institute provides the innovation and technology needed in areas of energy, hydrogen and ammonia,
transport, water, construction and digital mediums, and engages with society, industry
and government about how best to accomplish these new developments. By applying an
interdisciplinary approach across areas including physical sciences, engineering,
built environment, social sciences, arts and humanities, biosciences and geosciences
and planning, the Insitutute supports industry, government, and the third sector through
high impact Welsh-based research and innovation.
