In the UK, the UK government said it has confirmed that 10 projects from the first phase of its flagship hydrogen program – Hydrogen Allocation Round (HAR1) – can begin construction.
The government noted that these projects will support British industry to move away from using fossil fuels towards domestically-produced low-carbon hydrogen, reducing emissions heavy industry – such as steel, glass and heavy transport – ensuring decarbonization is a route to reindustrialization.
Minister for Industry, Sarah Jones, said: “This government is rolling out hydrogen out at scale for the first time, with 10 of the first projects now shovel-ready to start powering businesses with clean, homegrown energy from Teesside to Devon. Hydrogen will help us cut industrial emissions and support Britain’s industrial renewal by creating thousands of jobs in our industrial heartlands as part of the Plan for Change.”
