How will the new £90 million UK Government funding boost low-carbon hydrogen production and cut industrial emissions?
The new £90 million UK Government funding will primarily boost low-carbon hydrogen production through £70 million allocated to new plants near Mersey and Aberdeen, alongside a third project utilizing offshore windfarms off the Grimsby coast. Additionally, the funds will support trials for cutting industrial process emissions in sectors like glass and cement production, and an extra £20 million will fund local smart energy projects to reduce domestic household emissions. This investment aims to accelerate decarbonization and contribute to the UK's clean energy transition goals, including a project at Cranfield University to test low-carbon hydrogen production.
