The proposed Low Carbon Hydrogen Supply 2 Competition
aims to support innovation in the supply of hydrogen,
reducing the costs of supplying hydrogen, bringing new
solutions to the market, and ensuring that the UK
continues to develop world leading hydrogen technologies
for a future hydrogen economy. It follows on from the
first Low Carbon
Hydrogen Supply Competition. The competition forms
part of the Net Zero
Innovation Portfolio (NZIP).
Up to £60 million will be competitively awarded to
projects that can help develop a wide range of innovative
low-carbon hydrogen supply solutions.
It is proposed that the competition will be delivered via
two streams.
Stream 1
Stream 1 is expected to run over two phases.
Phase 1 will support the development of feasibility
studies with technology readiness levels between 4 and 6,
valued at up to £300,000 per project.
Phase 2 will down select projects from Phase 1 and
support demonstrations at up to £6 million per project.
Stream 2
Stream 2 will support demonstration of projects that are
closer to market with technology readiness levels between
6 and 7. This could support projects with up to £10
million per project to demonstrate the hydrogen supply
opportunities.
