The second auction round shortlist covers a range of sectors The second auction round shortlist covers a range of sectors The UK government has shortlisted 27 low-carbon hydrogen projects under the Second Hydrogen Allocation Round (HAR2) issued today. With pressure rising to accelerate decarbonisation and spur more investment into the hydrogen sector, the shortlist of projects covers manufacturing and industrial practices, ammonia production, new clean power generation, glass manufacturing, brick making, and sustainable aviation fuel production. The industry has the potential to attract over £1bn of private sector investment into the UK by 2029, providing companies can be convinced the country has a consistent and supportive policy environment which will facilitate growth and offtake agreements. Total funding for HAR2 was not released but it is expected to provide revenue support through the country’s Hydrogen Production… Read More »UK shortlists 27 hydrogen projects in crucial second allocation | Hydrogen

The German government’s previously planned Power Plant Strategy attempted to address this issue by tendering 12.5 GW of new natural gas-fired power plant capacity that could later run on hydrogen. The new coalition government aims to be in place by Easter. “In this way, the… Read More »Germany must clarify hydrogen role in energy system, says IEA | Germany
