Enterprise. Innovation. Excellence.

Hydrogen is a big part of the world’s energy future: clean, efficient and abundant.

The Hydrogen Awards have been established as an annual measure of enterprise, innovation and excellence – in standards, implementation and thinking about the future and about bringing the use of hydrogen to all industries and sectors and to the public. While the Awards are based in the UK it is now obvious they have international appeal. If you would like to kept informed about the Hydrogen Awards please add your name to the Mailing List.

For 2026 the call for entries opens on February 1, closes on May 31  and the Hydrogen Awards will be presented at a black-tie dinner occasion on September 17, following The Hydrogen Conference, which will run during the day.

If the Awards interest you from the point of view of sponsorship, please complete this Sponsorship Enquiry Form.

If you are keen to enter you can see the full list of categories and read the clear instructions on how to enter and useful advice on what you will need to provide for the judges. Those judges will again be drawn from the international hydrogen community and will be active participants in the development and use of hydrogen, both now and in the future.

It is a huge honour that Engineering Hydrogen Solutions agreed to become the international media partner to the Hydrogen Awards. EHS has extended the reach of the Awards widely since becoming media partner.

For 2025 the reach of the Awards were further extended through their links to The Hydrogen Conference, which took place at Conference Aston – the purpose built conference and events centre on the University of Aston campus – in Birmingham, UK on September 16 where the Award Winners were announced over the Conference  lunch. They were both a celebration of the finalists and also a perfect opportunity for Awards’ attendees and Conference delegates to network.

In addition, HyDEX continues to be a supporting partner, further extending the reach of the Hydrogen Awards through Energy Research Accelerator (ERA) and eight Midlands Universities and their powerful relationships with industrial and commercial hydrogen partners.
