The UK government has made a significant commitment to fund low-carbon hydrogen and CCUS projects with a substantial financial package of £21.7 billion over 25 years. This funding will primarily support the development of the HyNet and East Coast clusters in northern England, which have been identified as priority projects for the country. The government plans to allocate the funding through Contracts for Difference (CfDs), although the specific contracts are yet to be finalized. Furthermore, private sector investment in these clusters is expected to contribute around £8 billion, demonstrating strong support and investment interest from industry stakeholders. This announcement is seen as a positive step towards driving the energy transition and enhancing sustainability in the UK. By providing long-term funding certainty, the government aims to propel these projects forward and accelerate the adoption of low-carbon technologies to combat climate change.
