Research and consultancy from HSE can help you solve problems and reduce risk.
Developing new energy technologies brings complex safety challenges. HSE's research and consultancy services help organisations identify risks early, build confidence in innovative solutions and accelerate safe deployment.
Accelerating innovation and assuring safety
At HSE’s Centre for Energy and Major Hazards we help organisations develop new energy technologies safely, as the UK moves towards net zero.
The rapid adoption of new fuels and energy technologies, including hydrogen, carbon capture, electrification and next generation energy storage, and traditional hydrocarbon technologies, is creating new risks for consumers and industry due to the scale and pace of change.
Future net zero infrastructure must be underpinned by scientific rigour. Embedding safety from the start enables faster innovation and gives industry confidence in the safe deployment of new solutions.
How we help
HSE’s Centre for Energy and Major Hazards can work with you on shared safety issues in new energy technology.
We can:
- test new technology to find potential failures and build in safety from the earliest stages
- develop a comprehensive evidence base to help assess and reduce safety risks in net zero technologies and supporting infrastructure
- encourage safe innovation across industry through an outcome-focussed regulatory approach
Why work with HSE
We combine world-leading science and engineering expertise with over 100 years of experience in accident analysis and managing major hazards.
Our unique understanding of how technologies perform in real-world conditions, combined with insight into regulatory expectations, world-leading science, engineering and analysis capabilities, helps organisations make safer, evidence-based decisions throughout the project lifecycle.
