In October 2024, the UK Government announced funding had been agreed to support HPP1 as the UK’s first large-scale low carbon hydrogen project at the heart of the HyNet Cluster. HPP1 will have a production capacity of 350MW and will capture around 600,000 metric tons of CO2 a year – the equivalent to taking around 250,000 cars off the road.
This represents a major milestone for the HPP1 project, for the UK hydrogen industry, the HyNet Cluster and for EET Hydrogen’s progress towards its goal of developing 4GW of low carbon hydrogen production for industrial businesses across the North West of England to decarbonise their operations, protecting jobs and driving economic growth.
