Clean energy and hydrogen in their operating context

Clean energy projects bring together scientific performance, infrastructure, demand and practical delivery constraints. BECOME’s focus on clean energy and hydrogen creates a route for discussing these issues with researchers, industrial partners and programme stakeholders.

Understand the complete use case

Start with the energy need, the existing system and the outcome to be assessed. The relevant question may concern production, storage, conversion or the relationship between several components.

Research and development questions

• How should a technology be tested against the requirements of its proposed application?
• Which material or storage characteristics need further investigation?
• What infrastructure, expertise and operating resources would a pilot require?
• Which assumptions most affect technical and economic feasibility?

Move forward through defined milestones

A feasibility assessment can identify what is known, what remains uncertain and what evidence is needed next. Demonstrators and pilots should have an agreed test scope and appropriate specialist oversight.

Connect energy with related disciplines

Advanced materials can inform performance and durability questions. Data & AI can support analysis and monitoring. Water and circularity bring additional resource considerations into project design.

Bring a research question or industrial need

Tell us about the application, the maturity of the work and the contribution you are seeking. We can explore whether a research collaboration, a consortium or an applied programme is the appropriate next step.
