Countries such as the UK are already looking to individually develop hubs
Countries should collaborate on hydrogen hubs
Hub facilities would develop skills and job creation, as well as improve standards for safety and regulation, according to NZTC report
Hydrogen-focused nations should work together to develop hydrogen hubs that are open to international collaboration and knowledge-sharing, according to a report from the UK-based Net Zero Technology Centre titled Closing the Gap. These facilities would develop skills and job creation, improve safety and develop a regulatory environment that could then be deployed within the respective participants’ energy infrastructure. High-priority, mid-technology-readiness-level technologies such as electrolysers and storage compressors could then be fast-tracked within these ‘living labs’ to accelerate their development. “The scale of the energy transition, coupled with growing global power consumption
