UK Government Seeks Proposals for Hydrogen-to-Power Projects by 2030
Key Ideas
  • The UK Government is calling for evidence on hydrogen-to-power projects to be developed by 2030, focusing on rapid delivery and innovative standalone initiatives.
  • Stakeholders are encouraged to submit proposals for H2P plants that can generate electricity from 100% hydrogen, addressing barriers and showcasing early deployment value.
  • Despite the UK's target of 10GW hydrogen capacity by 2030, challenges including high production costs and infrastructure limitations have hindered progress.
  • Reports highlight the need for strategic government policies, incentives, and a national hydrogen network to prevent stalling in the country's hydrogen industry growth.
The UK Government has initiated a call for evidence on hydrogen-to-power (H2P) projects, aiming for developments that can be operational by 2030. This call precedes the establishment of large-scale enabling infrastructure, with a focus on identifying projects that can be swiftly delivered. Stakeholders are urged to present plans for H2P plants capable of producing electricity solely from hydrogen, showcasing innovation and early deployment potential. The government seeks insights into project scope, timelines, costs, and obstacles, emphasizing the importance of standalone or semi-standalone initiatives that do not rely heavily on existing infrastructure. While hydrogen is anticipated to have a significant role in the UK's energy transition, challenges such as high production expenses, uncertain demand, and infrastructure constraints have impeded progress. Concerns have been raised about the slow pace of advancements in the hydrogen industry due to insufficient government intervention, incentives, and infrastructure development. Reports indicate a potential delivery range shortfall in the UK's hydrogen project pipeline by 2030, pointing to the necessity of addressing policy, funding, and regulatory gaps in the UK and Europe. Additionally, webinars hosted by H2 View provide a platform for industry experts to discuss current trends and topics related to hydrogen. These interactive sessions include Q&A segments, debates, and audience engagement, fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing in the hydrogen sector. H2 View offers on-demand access to past webinars, enhancing information accessibility and industry networking opportunities.
