The UK is making strides in the green hydrogen sector by allocating GBP2.3 billion in subsidies to 11 green hydrogen projects, with a total capacity of 125 MW. These subsidies, confirmed in the Labour government's budget, aim to support projects that will provide hydrogen to at least 35 consumers over the next 15 years. The funding, originating from the first electrolytic hydrogen allocation round (HAR1) initiated by the previous government, will close the cost disparity between renewable hydrogen production and market prices, using natural gas as a reference floor. The successful projects, awarded at an average strike price of GBP241/MWh, showcase the competitiveness of green hydrogen compared to other emerging technologies. Developers like MorGen Energy are optimistic about the prospects of their projects, such as the 20-MW plant in Milford Haven, Wales, moving forward with the support of the Low Carbon Hydrogen Agreement. Through this initiative, the UK aims to foster the growth of a green hydrogen economy by closing the cost gap with traditional carbon-intensive fuels like natural gas. The subsidies will be paid once projects are operational, with additional support from the Net Zero Hydrogen Fund for project construction. By employing a contract-for-difference model, the subsidies will bridge the gap between low-carbon hydrogen sales prices and a strike price, ensuring the economic viability of green hydrogen production in the UK. This bold step signifies a pivotal shift towards sustainable energy practices and a significant contribution to the country's goal of achieving net zero emissions.
