Low-carbon hydrogen development has received a £60m boost as part of the government’s plans for a ‘Green Industrial Revolution’.
Improved carbon capture, use and storage (CCUS) and industrial energy efficiency are also major targets in the plans, announced today (24 May) with £166.5m funding.
The Hydrogen Supply 2 project aims to bring down the cost of low-carbon hydrogen to make it closer to the cost of natural gas. The government hopes it will identify and scale-up more efficient ways of producing hydrogen through electrolysis of water. It will also explore the use of low-carbon hydrogen in industries including manufacturing, rail, shipping and heating. The £60m funding could contribute to the creation of about 8,000 jobs.
