Austrian government promises €100m in funding for newly launched green hydrogen-to-methanol project
24 February 2026National Gas, Centrica, Equinor, and SSE Thermal are to bid for UK government funding to develop a regional hydrogen pipeline and storage network in the northeast of England.
Under the Humber Hydrogen banner, the quartet aim to secure around £500m ($674m) in funding from the government’s Hydrogen Transport and Storage Business Model process to develop a hydrogen network connecting sites in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.
It comes just weeks after Norwegian oil and gas firm Equinor, energy player SSE, and gas storage major Centrica signed a letter to Energy Secretary Ed Miliband, calling for hydrogen support in the region amid industrial decline.
