Nottingham hydrogen lab gets the green light to fuel the future

A new hydrogen propulsion lab is set to be built at the University of Nottingham’s Jubilee Campus, following the approval of planning permission.

Developed in partnership with Research England and industry partners, the facility will support research into sustainable transport technologies.

Designed by YMD Boon, the lab will include cryogenic test capabilities, altitude simulation chambers and testing areas for hydrogen, ammonia and other alternative fuels.

It will also be integrated with the nearby Power Electronics and Machines Centre (PEMC) to support high-power propulsion system testing.

The project is a collaboration with Turner and Townsend, GF Tomlinson, CPW, Derry Building Services and Price & Myers and is set for completion by 2026.

Shari Setayesh, director of YMD Boon said:

We are thrilled to be leading the design of this groundbreaking facility, which will drive innovation in sustainable propulsion technologies.

“Collaborating closely with the University of Nottingham and key stakeholders, we are creating a space that not only meets the complex demands of hydrogen research but also supports the transition to a cleaner, greener future. We are proud to continue our partnership with the University and look forward to the development of this project.”

Professor Chris Gerada, professor of Electrical Machines and lead for strategic research and innovation initiatives at the University of Nottingham said:

A new hydrogen lab for the East Midlands is a leap forward in establishing the region’s leadership in zero carbon innovation on the world stage.

“It is this region that has the right place, the right people, and the right technologies that industries need to achieve their decarbonisation ambitions.”

The lab is part of a broader initiative to establish Jubilee Campus as a centre for zero-carbon research, alongside the university’s new Zero Carbon Innovation Centre, backed by East Midlands Freeport and Loughborough University.
