How hydrogen demand is emerging across the UK was a focus of this year’s Aurora Energy Transition Summit, where Haldane Energy CEO Lawson Steele joined senior figures from government, finance and industry to assess how energy markets, policy frameworks and infrastructure must evolve to deliver a resilient power system.
Lawson participated in a panel discussion, Who’s Buying the Hydrogen? Exploring UK Demand Potential, chaired by Marten Ford, Advisory Project Leader at Aurora Energy Research.
The panel explored how hydrogen demand is emerging across the UK, particularly as the second Hydrogen Allocation Round progresses and a new hydrogen strategy comes into view. Discussion focused on where hydrogen can be most effectively deployed to support cost-efficient decarbonisation and commercially viable projects.
The panel also examined how demand signals influence investment decisions across hydrogen production, transport and storage – and the role of policy in providing certainty for large-scale infrastructure.
By contributing to the discussion, Haldane Energy reinforced its position that H2-LDES has a critical role to play in strengthening energy security, reducing system costs and supporting a reliable renewables-led power system.
