Hydrogen: Implications for the Food and Drink Industry
01 October 2024
In the coming years, hydrogen will emerge as a primary fuel to replace natural gas.
Advertised as a key solution for decarbonisation, hydrogen holds the promise of propelling industry towards net-zero. However, this transition is not without its challenges.
Despite its many benefits, there remains a lack of information on how to effectively manage this transition and the potential constraints it may introduce. The road to net-zero is complex and demands careful balancing of diverse priorities.
Watch this webinar with SLR to uncover potential considerations, ensuring you are best prepared to manage this transition and maintain resilience.

Topics
Download (1237 kb)SLR focus on:
- Carbon Reporting: Discuss the potential implications on carbon emission reporting schemes (e.g. UK ETS, CCA and SECR).
- Permitting: Understand how the Environment Agency may manage this transition and the potential application process.
- Air Quality: Discuss the potential impacts of NOx from combusted hydrogen on the local environment, particularly sensitive ecological designations.
