The UK's transition to net zero is gaining momentum with significant developments in green energy initiatives. The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) has unveiled a shortlist of 27 green hydrogen projects that have advanced to the next stage of the Hydrogen Allocation Round (HAR2). Spread across the UK, these projects aim to support low-carbon hydrogen production in various industries, including oil refineries and ammonia production. The government's funding mechanism seeks to decarbonize hard-to-electrify sectors like glass manufacturing and sustainable aviation fuel production. Industry voices have praised the initiative, highlighting its potential for advancing clean energy solutions. In a parallel move, the UK government has kickstarted a fusion investment with a £20 million injection into 'Starmaker One', a fusion venture capital fund. This partnership aims to attract up to an additional £130 million from the private sector to drive fusion technology forward. With plans to position Britain at the forefront of the global fusion market, the government sees fusion energy as a key sector for economic growth and clean energy production. Ofgem's launch of the long-duration electricity storage (LDES) investment support scheme marks a significant milestone in the UK's energy landscape. By guaranteeing revenue stability for LDES operators and focusing on efficiency to benefit consumers, the scheme aims to de-risk investments in technologies like liquid air energy storage and flow batteries. Furthermore, the government's commitment to diverse renewable energy sources is evident in the update to solar capacities under the Clean Power 2030 Action Plan, reflecting a comprehensive approach to achieving net zero emissions in the UK.
