Membership of Industry Advisory Group

Hydrogen East has now launched the East of England Hydrogen Cluster and announced the first members of its new Industry-led Advisory Group.

Last year, Hydrogen East first unveiled a vision for a regional, distributed clean hydrogen cluster in the East of England that will pave the way for proactive development and improved infrastructure to be implemented, before then being further scaled as the demand for clean hydrogen grows.

This work has continued since and gathered pace, with the cluster vision being presented at the East Suffolk Hydrogen Conference and forming a key part of Hydrogen East’s Hydrogen Week activities. This saw a Hydrogen Cluster Round Table held, which helped to further shape the path forwards.

Taking to the stage at the East of England Energy Group’s (EEEGR) SNS Vision 2030 annual conference in Norwich, Hydrogen East has launched the cluster, which is supported by Hydrogen UK, the Hydrogen Energy Association (formerly the UK Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association (UKHFCA)), Scottish Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association (SHFCA), Freeport East, East of England Energy Group (EEEGR), Cambridge Cleantech, Water Resources East and the New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership.

During the SNS2023 conference panel session ‘Hydrogen Evolution in the East’, details were revealed on the Industry Advisory Group (IAG) – one of the key outcomes from the Cluster Round Table that was held earlier in the year.

The expectation is that the IAG will continue growing in the weeks and months ahead, with its early members including Cadent, National Gas Transmission, Turner & Townsend, Reynolds Logistics, Dron & Dickson, HydroGenus, Hanson, Aquaterra Energy, SaxonAir, Ryze Hydrogen, the Bacton Hydrogen Hub, and Opergy.
