The UK government has shortlisted 27 hydrogen-powered projects in its second Hydrogen Allocation Round (HAR2).
The selected projects will boost low-carbon hydrogen production within the UK.
The initiative is part of the government’s Plan for Change and aims to cut carbon emissions while creating thousands of jobs.
The UK’s hydrogen sector has the potential to attract more than £1bn ($1.28bn) of private sector investment by 2029.
