B. MEMBER MESSAGES 

GENERAL: 

FROM: Rebecca Shaw, ATI, 19/09/2024
SUBJECT: Hydrogen Capability Network - call to interested parties
DETAILS: The Hydrogen Capability Network (HCN) is dedicated to making
liquid hydrogen (LH2) powered flight a reality through developing a
community around fundamental hydrogen research and development.
Thermofluids has been identified as a priority research area for further
development. We have previously held a workshop with academic and
industry experts to identify LH2 thermofluid problems and potential
solutions; the outcomes of the workshop can be seen here [1]. 

We are keen to grow the thermofluids network and engage with the
community to identify scope and strategic development in this area. If
you would like to find out more, or are interested in being involved in
the community, please contact us at hydrogen at ati.org.uk, and learn more
about us on our website [2].
