GW-SHIFT Hydrogen Economy Report and Webinar:
GW-SHIFT has published its new Hydrogen Economy Report, helping businesses, councils and investors capitalise on the growing green hydrogen opportunity.
With the UK green hydrogen market opportunity set to reach £30 – £90bn, the report explores hydrogen’s role across South Wales and South West England, alongside funding opportunities, skills and training pathways, policy developments, and real-world regional projects already delivering impact.
To mark the publication, delve deeper into the report during the Insights from the Hydrogen Economy Report webinar.
Chaired by GW-SHIFT Deputy Director, Karen Brooks, and featuring a keynote from report author Laura Norris, this session will explore how organisations can accelerate their green hydrogen ambitions.

The Only Way is Hydrogen? Podcast:
GW-SHIFT is stepping into the world of podcasting with ‘The Only Way is Hydrogen?’.
Hosted by Karen Brooks, Deputy Director of GW-SHIFT, the 12-part series explores hydrogen’s real role in reaching net zero through honest, accessible conversations.
Green hydrogen can often feel like challenging and contested territory – but that’s where ‘The Only Way is Hydrogen?’ comes in. It will bring the conversation to the fore, humanising complexity and enabling pragmatic, informed dialogue rather than hype or polarised debate.
Throughout the series, people, experience and real-world decision-making are placed at the centre of the conversation, welcoming leaders from local government, energy utilities, transport, research, businesses, the arts, and more.
Designed to be accessible without oversimplifying the science, the series helps listeners navigate complexity and engage in informed, constructive dialogue.
Listen to the latest episode – Power, Policy & Progress: The UK’s Hydrogen Future featuring Emma Guthrie, CEO of the Hydrogen Energy Association.
Available on the GW-SHIFT website or wherever you get your podcasts.
