Driving the Growth for Low Carbon Hydrogen
The UK’s National Hydrogen Strategy was launched in 2021, alongside consultations on hydrogen business models, a Net Zero Hydrogen Fund, and low-carbon hydrogen standards.
The UK’s ambition of 10 GW low carbon hydrogen production pursed by a twin track approach (green and blue hydrogen) means the UK will have a large-scale supply of low-cost, low-carbon hydrogen available to the market sooner than many other countries.
Your hydrogen investment case is supported by the Hydrogen Net Zero Investment Roadmap, featuring:
- A Net Zero Hydrogen Fund to support your business case - the second round of the £240 million Net Zero Hydrogen Fund is now open for bids – Net Zero Hydrogen Fund strands 1 and 2 are open to applications.
- The design of a production business model to ensure long-term revenue support through a variable premium price support model and the aim to run annual allocation rounds for electrolytic hydrogen, moving to price competitive allocation by 2025.
- A Low Carbon Hydrogen Standard to enable market access and certainty for end use.
What makes the UK your prime location for hydrogen?
- Opportunities across the hydrogen value chain – from production, through transmission and storage to the range of potential end uses, including power, transport and heating
- Europe’s largest offshore wind market to power hydrogen production
- Existing assets: the UK has salt caverns and depleted oil and gas fields that are suitable for hydrogen storage as well as existing (and in some cases currently redundant) gas pipeline infrastructure that can be redeployed to transport hydrogen
- Expertise: the UK’s deep resources of both renewables and oil and gas sector expertise mean that there is no shortage of the skills or creative thinking needed to make projects happen – the UK is consistently in the top ten countries globally for hydrogen technology patent rates
- Pipeline of projects: over a dozen large-scale and several mid and small sized low carbon hydrogen projects are on-going or under development. These cover a range of technologies and applications.
