The UK government has confirmed that 10 projects from the first phase of its flagship hydrogen programme – Hydrogen Allocation Round (HAR1) – can begin construction.
In the Autumn Budget 2024, the government confirmed support for 11 green hydrogen projects, including £90m in capital grant support through the Net Zero Hydrogen Fund and over £2bn of revenue support through the hydrogen production business model.
