A thriving, low carbon hydrogen sector is essential for the UK's plans to build back better with a cleaner, greener energy system. Hydrogen has the potential to reduce emissions in some of the highest-emitting and most difficult to decarbonise areas of the economy, which must be transformed rapidly to meet Net Zero targets. To achieve this, large amounts of low carbon hydrogen and alternative liquid fuels will be needed. These must be stored and transported to their point of use. There remain significant research challenges across the whole value chain and researchers, industry and policy makers must work collaboratively and across disciplines to drive forward large-scale implementation of hydrogen and alternative liquid fuels as energy vectors and feedstocks.The flagship UK-HyRES hub will identify, prioritise and deliver solutions to research challenges that must be overcome for widespread adoption of hydrogen and alternative liquid fuels. It will be a focus for the UK research community, both those who are already involved in hydrogen research and those who must be involved in future. The UK-HyRES hub will provide a network and collaboration platform for fundamental research, requiring the combined efforts of scientists, engineers, social scientists and others. The UK-HyRES team will coordinate a national, interdisciplinary programme of research to ensure a pipeline of projects that can deliver commercialisation of hydrogen and alternative liquid fuel technologies that are safe, acceptable, and environmentally, economically and socially sustainable, de-coupling fossil fuels from our energy system and delivering greener energy. We intend that, within its five-year funding window and beyond, UK-HyRES will be recognised internationally as a global centre of excellence and impact in hydrogen and alternative liquid fuel research.

蓬勃发展的低碳氢能行业对于英国通过更清洁、更绿色的能源系统进行更好重建的计划至关重要。氢有潜力减少一些排放最高和最难脱碳的经济领域的排放，这些领域必须迅速转型才能实现净零目标。为了实现这一目标，将需要大量低碳氢和替代液体燃料。这些必须储存并运输到使用地点。整个价值链仍然存在重大研究挑战，研究人员、行业和政策制定者必须跨学科合作，推动氢和替代液体燃料作为能源载体和原料的大规模实施。英国-HyRES 旗舰中心将确定，优先考虑并提供解决方案来应对广泛采用氢和替代液体燃料所必须克服的研究挑战。这将成为英国研究界的焦点，无论是那些已经参与氢研究的人还是那些未来必须参与的人。 UK-HyRES 中心将为基础研究提供一个网络和协作平台，需要科学家、工程师、社会科学家和其他人的共同努力。 UK-HyRES 团队将协调一项国家跨学科研究计划，以确保一系列项目能够实现氢和替代液体燃料技术的商业化，这些技术是安全的、可接受的、环境、经济和社会可持续的、与化石燃料脱钩的来自我们的能源系统并提供更绿色的能源。我们希望，在五年资助期限内及之后，UK-HyRES 将被国际认可为氢和替代液体燃料研究领域的全球卓越中心和影响力中心。
