The Government is supporting multiple hydrogen production technologies, including both electrolytic and carbon capture (CCUS)-enabled hydrogen production, by providing capital support through the £240m Net Zero Hydrogen Fund and revenue support through the Hydrogen Business Model.

The first window for joint support under these policies for electrolytic hydrogen production closed on 12 October and the Government has committed to run further annual allocation rounds.

CCUS-enabled hydrogen projects have been invited to bid through the Phase-2 Cluster Sequencing process.

This will help deliver the Government’s aim to have up to 2GW of hydrogen production capacity operational or in construction by 2025.
