The University of South Wales (USW) Hydrogen Centre is a dedicated facility focused on industry-facing hydrogen research and innovation. It specializes in electrolytic production, storage development, novel purification and compression methods, and applications in industry and transport. The Centre is purpose-built, fully adopting industry-standard safety protocols and hosted the first hydrogen refuelling station in Wales and has a successful track record of development of hydrogen technology.
Collaborative research and development is central to the activity of USW’s Hydrogen Centre, including development of industrial partner technology, as well as experimental development of the University’s own, earlier stage research to accelerate technology readiness levels.
With a history of water electrolysis development, USW Hydrogen Centre has a proven track record of multiple rounds of electrolyser prototype and product testing and development. This includes extensive work in alkaline electrolysis in partnership with European collaborators, as well as separate rounds of PEM electrolysis prototype and product development with industrial partners.
