– UK hydrogen projects attract £1 billion investment
– Clean energy growth through hydrogen initiatives
– Job creation in UK’s hydrogen sector
The UK government has advanced 27 hydrogen projects to the next stage of the Second Hydrogen Allocation Round (HAR2), aiming to bolster low-carbon hydrogen production. This initiative is expected to attract over £1 billion in private investment by 2029, supporting the nation’s goal of becoming a clean energy leader.
These projects span various sectors, including ammonia production, clean power generation, glass manufacturing, brick making, and sustainable aviation fuel production. The development of these hydrogen facilities is anticipated to create thousands of jobs, particularly in the UK’s industrial regions.
Industry Minister Sarah Jones emphasized that this move not only invests in technology but also in British jobs and energy security. She highlighted hydrogen’s potential to power everyday life and stimulate clean energy growth nationwide.
