Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
The website ran successfully through the year 1 Jan 2024 to 5 April 2025 and has commented especially on the new Labour Government elected on 4[th] July 2024. Their fresh policies on green energy from Wind and Solar, together with a dynamic programme to introduce new projects on Green Hydrogen have had a major impact on enthusiasm for hydrogen throughout the year.
The main event in 2024 to 2025 has been the Hydrogen Workshop held on 10[th] April 2024 at Millennium Point in Birmingham that attracted donations, speakers and attendees. A further Hydrogen event is being planned now for a Hydrogen Fuel Cell Meeting in Birmingham in September 2025. Three papers on Green Hydrogen were published through the year: K Kendall, Low carbon integrated vehicles and buildings, Mech Eng Adv 2(2024)282 K Kendall, The University sector is converging on Manufacturing in UK, Igmin Res Feb26(2024) K Kendall, Green Villages by Wind+Solar+Hydrogen, Clean Energy Science Technol 2(2024)26 Several lectures were given on Green Hydrogen during the year. Two Patents were filed to prioritise the applications of Green Hydrogen: Green Hydrogen Production patent to define how byproduct hydrogen could be made green by supplying green energy from wind turbines or solar farms to Chlor Alkali Industries.
Green Hydrogen Patent, published on 5 March 2025 under the number 2 633 015, focussed on how Green Villages could be designed and make profits using wind+solar+hydrogen/
The finance data are: P and K Kendall made a donation in June 2024 of £20,000 to support the charity through 2024-25. This donation was approved by HMRC which altered the tax code appropriately.
