Regional gold for Luxfer’s hydrogen advances

Nottingham-based Luxfer Gas Cylinders has been awarded the prestigious Make UK Midlands Innovation Award for its pioneering work in hydrogen technology, positioning the company for the national finals in January 2025.

This commitment underscores Luxfer’s role in driving the anticipated growth of hydrogen as a clean energy solution.

Lucy Morris, Marketing Manager at Luxfer Gas Cylinders Europe, commented, “We’re honoured to receive this recognition from Make UK, especially in innovation, which is core to our work. Our highly skilled alternative fuel experts are leading the way in hydrogen technology by building on decades of experience in safe gas containment to deliver clean, sustainable solutions.”
