In September 2006 SgurrEnergy held the 6th meeting of the International Energy Agency's Implementing Agreement on Hydrogen. The meeting saw 20 hydrogen experts from around the world descend on Glasgow for a week of discussion and presentations relating to the Implementation and Evaluation of Hydrogen projects.
Previous working meetings in the series had taken place in Japan, USA, Canada, Iceland and Spain. The UK meeting also provided the delegates with an opportunity to visit the HARI (Hydrogen and Renewables Integration) and PURE (Promoting Unst Renewable Energy) projects at Loughborough and Unst respectively.
These projects are two of the most innovative hydrogen demonstration projects in the UK and highlight the possibilities involved with using the gas as a storage medium for renewable energy. The UK is represented under this IEA Agreement by a consortium headed by SgurrEnergy, in conjunction with the University of Strathclyde's Energy Systems Research Unit (ESRU). The consortium is sponsored by the DTI.
