The 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.
We propose that the competition will be delivered via 2
streams.
Stream 1
Stream 1 is expected to run over 2 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.
