In the UK, Lhyfe announced that both of its planned green hydrogen production projects in Wallsend, North Tyneside, and Kemsley, Kent, have been shortlisted under the UK Government’s Hydrogen Allocation Round 2 (HAR2), a public auction system to support the production of low-carbon or renewable hydrogen. The company noted that both facilities plan to supply green hydrogen to industrial users and transport operators in their region, contributing to decarbonisation efforts and the growth of the UK’s hydrogen economy. The Kemsley facility is a 80 MW onsite plant is strategically positioned in the North of Kemsley (Kent). It plans to produce up to 32 tons of green hydrogen per day, primarily for an industrial player in the region. The 20 MW Wallsend facility plans to produce up to 8 tons of green hydrogen per day. As part of the HAR2 mechanism, the winners will receive public financial support in the form of a Contract for Difference (CfD), a mechanism that guarantees them in the very long term a fixed price for the hydrogen produced, the firm said.
