It will cover 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 will fund demonstrations and, where needed, feasibility and FEED studies:
It forms part of the BEIS £1 billion Net Zero Innovation Portfolio, which aims to accelerate the commercialisation of innovative clean energy technologies and processes through the 2020s and 2030s. Programme structure
How to applyStream 1 – up to £10 million in grant funding per project
Stream 2A – up to £400,000 in SBRI funding per project
We have provided Word versions of the application forms in the Documents section here to help you plan your response. You cannot submit these versions though – we will only assess applications submitted through the online platform. If you need further clarification on the information in the guidance / Invitations to Tender (ITTs), please email us at nzip.hydrogen@beis.gov.uk by 2pm, 18 May 2022. Events for prospective applicants Launch and Networking Event, 9 May 2022 We held an online Launch and Networking event on Monday 9 May to provide an overview of the competition. The session presentation is available here. Online networking platform If you would like to network with others interested in the IHA, please sign up to the Industrial Hydrogen Accelerator Networking Platform (B2Match IHA), a virtual marketplace where you can browse the expertise, products and services of potential partners and request support from others. Once registered you can create a personal / company profile, share your expertise, message new connections and set up bilateral meetings with other participants.

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.
