Hydrogen: Production

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government what funding assistance they are providing for market structures and mechanisms for supporting increased hydrogen production.

Answer

The UK’s strong policy framework – including the Hydrogen Production Business Model, Net Zero Hydrogen Fund and Low Carbon Hydrogen Standard – has created an investable model which has leveraged private investment to kick start the UK’s hydrogen economy.

Government is supporting projects to move the UK closer to our hydrogen ambitions.

In December 2023 we announced 125MW of successful projects from Hydrogen Allocation Round (HAR) 1, and have since launched HAR2, aiming to allocate up to a further 875MW in 2025, subject to affordability and value for money.
