Great to have Lawson Steele, Managing Director of Haldane Energy, participate in a roundtable hosted by AtkinsRéalis alongside Juergen Maier CBE FRS FREng, Chair of Great British Energy, and Rajesh Kedia, National Wealth Fund. The roundtable discussion focussed on unlocking hydrogen storage projects in the UK. At Haldane Energy,?we are developing a leading portfolio of hydrogen-long duration electricity storage projects to meet the inevitable need for long-duration electricity storage in the future GB power system.
On behalf of AtkinsRéalis I was delighted to welcome Juergen Maier CBE FRS FREng, Chair of Great British Energy, Rajesh Kedia of the National Wealth Fund and Industry representatives to a private roundtable to discuss; How hydrogen storage projects can stimulate the UK hydrogen economy? Key Takeaways (as summarised by AI!) ?? Whole-System Approach: There is a need for an integrated framework of funding solutions that consider the entire hydrogen value chain. ?? Government Support: Clear policies, financial support, and a commitment to hydrogen projects are crucial, and needed now. ?? Planning and Consenting: Streamlining these processes is essential to accelerate project development. (Luckily this is starting to progress as the Planning and Infrastructure Bill was introduced to Parliament today) ?? Collaboration: Partnerships between public and private sectors are vital for success.
