The Environment Agency has published guidance on emerging techniques for the production of hydrogen from water using electrolysis. The guidance – developed in consultation with industry, other UK regulators and other stakeholders – will help businesses design and develop industrial facilities for the production of green hydrogen, a low carbon energy carrier that is a key feature […]
The government has said that a pilot project to replace gas with hydrogen in home heating in the village of Redcar in Yorkshire, will not go ahead as there is not enough adequate low carbon hydrogen available. The “hydrogen village” scheme had been expected to start in 2025, but the decision followed months of protests […]
According to the government, the August 2023 Hydrogen Strategy Update to the Market offers an accessible summary of hydrogen policy development and schemes since the publication of the last update to the market in December 2022. Policy areas covered in this update are: hydrogen production hydrogen networks and storage uses of hydrogen in industry, power, […]
The first initiative to produce fuel cell grade hydrogen using wastewater in Great Britain will begin with a project in Cambridgeshire this summer. Element 2, the UK’s leading hydrogen infrastructure business, will purchase hydrogen produced by a new electrolyser at Anglian Water’s Milton Road, Cambridge water recycling site and supply it to hydrogen vehicles. Producing […]
A new project working group, led by UK Water Industry Research (UKWIR), is examining the relationship between hydrogen production, water availability, emerging technologies, and the role water utilities can play in the hydrogen value chain across the UK and Ireland. Dan Green, of Wessex Water and UKWIR’s programme lead for its carbon ‘big question’ commented: […]
UK hydrogen strategy BEIS ‘This strategy sets out the approach to developing a thriving low carbon hydrogen sector in the UK to meet our ambition for 5GW of low carbon hydrogen production capacity by 2030. Hydrogen is a new low carbon solution which can help the UK to achieve net zero by 2050, and our […]
Site in Orkney has produced hydrogen from electricity generated by tidal energy for the first time. In a world first for clean energy, researchers in Scotland have generated hydrogen using electricity from tidal arrays. The first ever ‘tidal hydrogen’ was generated at the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) in Orkney at the end of August […]
