Hydrogen: Implications for the food and drink industry

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.

Join this webinar with SLR to uncover potential considerations for the food and drink industry, ensuring you are best prepared to manage this transition and maintain resilience.

SLR will 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.

Audience

Those with a facility that ...

• Uses or may use hydrogen for energy and / or manufacturing purposes, or is considering it as a fuel choice.
• Currently uses natural gas (or another fuel) in combustion for energy and / or manufacturing purposes
• Has an environmental permit
• Is regulated under a carbon reporting scheme (UK ETS, CCA and / or SECR).

Anyone who has ...

• A direct role in emission reporting
• A sustainability and / or energy transition role
