Energy companies Lhyfe and Centrica signed on Monday a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to co-develop offshore renewable green hydrogen for the first time in the United Kingdom.

Under the agreement, both firms will collaborate on a pilot green hydrogen production site in the Southern North Sea, Lhyfe said in a statement.

An additional partnership will also be assessed to deploy the technology at commercial scale alongside offshore wind electricity production, Lhyfe said.
