Official Opening of the Wolfson Centre for Low Carbon Hydrogen

Hosted by Professor Tony Clark, Executive Dean of the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences, the event will feature opening remarks from Aston University Vice-Chancellor, Professor Aleks Subic, followed by a ceremonial ribbon cutting and plaque unveiling to mark the launch of the centre. Guided tours of the new facilities and networking over drinks and light refreshments will follow.

The Wolfson Centre for Low Carbon Hydrogen is home to a groundbreaking, fully integrated research platform that represents a major step forward in green energy innovation.

At its core is a high-pressure micro-gasifier that converts biomass into syngas. This is purified into high-quality hydrogen via a catalytic membrane reactor and fed directly into a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell to generate clean electricity. This unique process showcases our internationally leading capability in low-carbon hydrogen production.

Enjoy prosecco (with non-alcoholic alternatives), light snacks, and the opportunity to connect with researchers, partners, and colleagues who are shaping the future of sustainable energy.
