The Industrial Hydrogen Accelerator (IHA) competition
supports projects generating evidence on end-to-end industrial
fuel switching to hydrogen. It covers the full technology chain,
from hydrogen generation and delivery infrastructure through to
industrial end-use, including the integration of the components
in a single project.
The competition funds demonstrations and, where needed,
feasibility and FEED studies:
- the feasibility studies explore how systems could be designed
and provide information on the technical requirements and costs
- the demonstration projects construct end-to-end industrial
hydrogen systems, from hydrogen production to end-use, to prove
their feasibility and provide further evidence on the real-world
performance and costs
The IHA
forms part of the Net Zero Innovation
Portfolio, which aims to accelerate the commercialisation of
innovative clean energy technologies and processes through the
2020s and 2030s.

Other hydrogen and industry funding
opportunities
Some other funds that may be relevant to your project:
We will use the evidence generated by the IHA on the use of
hydrogen by industrial users to inform strategic decisions in
2026 on the role of low carbon hydrogen as a replacement for
natural gas in the gas grid. For more information on this policy
area see the August 2021 UK Hydrogen Strategy.
