The UK government has announced a significant funding allocation of up to £21.7 billion over 25 years to support the growth of the CCUS and hydrogen sectors, positioning the UK as an early global leader in these industries. The commitment to these sectors was first made in 2009, and this recent funding confirmation signifies a major success for British industry. Efforts are underway in the Northwest of England to transition from 'Blue' hydrogen to 'Green' hydrogen, focusing on renewable energy sources and carbon capture processes to make production more sustainable. The HyNet North West project aims to establish the UK's first low carbon hydrogen hub by 2025 at the Stanlow Refinery in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, with plans to initially produce 3TWh of low carbon hydrogen annually. Innovation in hydrogen technology is advancing rapidly, with the development of hydrogen-compatible boilers and industrial-scale hydrogen turbines on the horizon. The industry is hopeful that hydrogen can help the UK meet its climate commitments and revitalize its manufacturing sector, potentially becoming a key component of the UK gas network in the next two decades.
