Details

Low carbon hydrogen could play an important role in decarbonising industry, power, heat and transport. However, for a market to grow, potential users (in any application) need to be confident in supply of sufficient amounts of low carbon hydrogen at a competitive price.

The £33 million Low Carbon Hydrogen Supply competition aimed to accelerate the development of low carbon bulk hydrogen supply solutions in the above sectors. It was aimed at projects at a technology readiness level (TRL) of 4 to 7, which could result in lower capital or operating costs when compared to Steam Methane Reformation with Carbon Capture & Storage (SMR+CCS), or improve the carbon capture rates at a comparable cost.

Phase 2 of the competition aimed to accelerate the development of low carbon bulk hydrogen supply solutions by providing funding for demonstration projects.

Phase 1 funded feasibility studies looking into accelerating the development of low carbon bulk hydrogen supply solutions.
