Energy infrastructure development company Carlton Power and Schroders Greencoat have agreed a partnership to build a 500MW portfolio of UK green hydrogen projects by 2030.
RenewableUK has called on the UK government and devolved administrations to reform the planning system to allow green hydrogen projects to rapidly be built across the country.
Energy generation and storage company Statera have released plans to develop a 3GW green hydrogen project in Scotland capable of supplying the UK with up to 30% of its 10GW by 2030 hydrogen target.
UK Hydrogen Champion Jane Toogood has called on the UK government to create a plan for an integrated energy infrastructure to incorporate gas, electricity and hydrogen, with potential savings of up to £38 billion.
The UK Government is set to launch a new certification for hydrogen sourcing aiming to provide further transparency and “reliable” tracing of its production.
Hydrogen could play a vitally important role in the decarbonisation of the UK power system by providing flexibility services as a cheaper alternative to gas-fired flexible generation, Aurora Energy Research said.
