Hydrogen and alternative liquid fuels have an essential role in the net zero transition by providing connectivity and flexibility across the energy system. Despite advancements in the field of hydrogen research both in the physical sciences and engineering, significant barriers remain to the scalable adoption of hydrogen and alternative liquid fuel technologies, and energy services, into the UK's local and national whole system infrastructure policy. These are technical barriers, organisational barriers, regulatory and societal barriers, and financial barriers.The vision as Co-ordinator of the Centre for Systems Integration of Hydrogen and Alternative Fuels (CSI-HALF) is to deliver a fundamental shift in critical analysis of the role of hydrogen in the context of the overall energy landscape, through the creation of robust tools which are investment-oriented in their analysis. A Whole Systems and Energy Systems Integration approach is needed here, in order to better understand the interconnected and interdependent nature of complex energy systems from a technical, social, environmental and economic perspective. This 6-month proposal is to deliver key stakeholder engagement, to develop a comprehensive, co-created research programme for the Centre.The Centre is led by Prof Sara Walker, currently Director of the EPSRC National Centre for Energy Systems Integration, supported by Prof David Flynn of Heriot Watt University and Prof Jianzhong Wu of Cardiff University. The team have extensive experience of large energy research projects and strong networks of stakeholders across England, Wales and Scotland. They bring to the Centre major hydrogen demonstrators through support from partners involved in InTEGReL in Gateshead, ReFLEX in Orkney, and FLEXIS Demonstration in South Wales for example.This 6-month phase is an engagement exercise. It is our responsibility to engage with the community in a manner which respects and supports their motivations. Our philosophy in undertaking this engagement work is based around principles of inclusion, authenticity and tailoring. We will de-risk the integration of HALF into the UK energy system, through full representation of the hydrogen spectrum with open and integrated analysis of top-down and ground-up perspectives, including representation of the immediate and wider stakeholder group e.g. financial markets. We shall engage with this broad section of stakeholders with the support of experts in citizen and community engagement. These expert partners will enable us to produce the highest possible quality of engagement in the 6-month period.Our initial approaches to key stakeholders have been extremely positive. We have already engaged with, and have support from representatives of: pink, green and blue hydrogen production; hydrogen transportation stakeholders; hydrogen end users; policy makers and community groups; financial and consultation organisations; and key academics. We shall engage to create a vibrant, diverse, and open community that has a deeper understanding of whole systems approaches and the role of hydrogen and alternative liquid fuels (HALF) within that. We shall do so in a way which embeds EDI in the approach. We shall do so in a way which is a hybrid of virtual and in-person field work consultation, and develop appropriate digital tools for engagement. This builds on accredited practices and inclusive key performance indicators. The network created as a result of the engagement activity will be consulted on with respect to key research questions for the Centre, to co-create a research programme. Through relationship building, webinars and focus groups, we shall deliver an expertise map for hydrogen integration, an information pack containing the state of the art "commons", and a full proposal with comprehensive research programme which has extensive community buy-in.

氢和替代液体燃料通过提供整个能源系统的连通性和灵活性，在净零转型中发挥着重要作用。尽管氢研究领域在物理科学和工程方面取得了进展，但在英国地方和国家整个系统基础设施政策中大规模采用氢和替代液体燃料技术以及能源服务方面仍然存在重大障碍。这些是技术障碍、组织障碍、监管和社会障碍以及财务障碍。作为氢和替代燃料系统集成中心 (CSI-HALF) 协调员的愿景是在关键分析方面实现根本性转变通过创建在分析中以投资为导向的强大工具，氢在整个能源格局中的作用。这里需要一种整体系统和能源系统集成方法，以便从技术、社会、环境和经济角度更好地理解复杂能源系统相互关联和相互依存的性质。这个为期 6 个月的提案旨在促进关键利益相关者的参与，为该中心开发一个全面的、共同创建的研究计划。该中心由现任 EPSRC 国家能源系统集成中心主任 Sara Walker 教授领导，并得到教授的支持赫瑞瓦特大学的大卫·弗林和卡迪夫大学的吴建中教授。该团队在大型能源研究项目方面拥有丰富的经验，并且在英格兰、威尔士和苏格兰拥有强大的利益相关者网络。例如，他们通过参与盖茨黑德 InTEGReL、奥克尼群岛 ReFLEX 和南威尔士 FLEXIS Demonstration 等合作伙伴的支持，为该中心带来了主要的氢演示项目。这个为期 6 个月的阶段是一个参与活动。我们有责任以尊重和支持社区动机的方式与社区互动。我们开展这项参与工作的理念是基于包容性、真实性和量身定制的原则。我们将通过对自上而下和自下而上的观点进行开放和综合分析来全面展示氢谱，包括代表直接和更广泛的利益相关者群体，例如氢能谱，从而降低将 HALF 纳入英国能源系统的风险。金融市场。我们将在公民和社区参与专家的支持下与广大利益相关者进行接触。这些专家合作伙伴将使我们能够在 6 个月内实现尽可能最高质量的参与。我们与主要利益相关者的初步接触非常积极。我们已经参与并得到了以下代表的支持：粉色、绿色和蓝色的氢气生产；氢运输利益相关者；氢最终用户；政策制定者和社区团体；金融和咨询组织；和主要学者。我们将致力于创建一个充满活力、多元化和开放的社区，对整个系统方法以及氢和替代液体燃料（HALF）在其中的作用有更深入的了解。我们将以将 EDI 嵌入到方法中的方式来执行此操作。我们将以虚拟和现场现场工作咨询相结合的方式来实现这一目标，并开发适当的数字工具进行参与。这建立在经过认可的实践和包容性关键绩效指标的基础上。将就中心的关键研究问题咨询因参与活动而创建的网络，以共同制定研究计划。通过建立关系、网络研讨会和焦点小组，我们将提供氢整合的专业知识图、包含最先进“共享”的信息包，以及包含广泛社区支持的综合研究计划的完整提案。
