Teesside could lead the Hydrogen Energy Revolution

Simon speaking at Policy exchange launch

Yesterday I was invited to speak at the launch of a new report by Policy Exchange on how Hydrogen could be used as the clean fuel of the future.

As the report explains, Teesside offers one of the best opportunities for a successful hydrogen production hub.

The foreword to the report is written by Tees Valley mayor, Ben Houchen, who has been working hard to ensure that Tees Valley becomes the UK’s Hydrogen Powerhouse, creating hundreds of jobs and boosting our region’s economy by billions in the coming decades.
