Debby Skellern

I lead the Western Gateway's Hydrogen Workstream. The Western Gateway is the pan-regional partnership for Western England and South Wales which brings together business, research and public services to tackle shared challenges. The partnership is working to turbocharge Hydrogen development across through the new Western Gateway Hydrogen Ecosystem.

In the area we have many different organisations working to develop Hydrogen as an energy carrier across a range of different possible uses. We want to work with you to show the rest of the UK and the world why they should invest locally to boost collaboration and realise many sources which could drive a future Hydrogen powered economy.

Please drop me a message if you have a case study that you think we should know about or if you want to get involved.

The Western Gateway Partnership working to drive the development of the hydrogen economy and power a greener, fairer future. In doing so, we need to work in collaboration regionally, nationally and internationally. I am delighted to join the Women in Green Hydrogen network and have the opportunity to engage with other women from around the world working to progress the hydrogen economy.
