The UK Government has revealed its shortlist of electrolytic hydrogen projects in the running to receive funding from the Hydrogen Business Model / Net Zero Hydrogen Fund.

With contracts expected to be awarded in the fourth quarter of this year (2023), the Hydrogen Allocation Round 1 (HAR1) plans to fund up to 250MW of electrolytic hydrogen projects across England, Scotland and Wales.

Containing projects totalling 408MW of capacity, the shortlist offers insight into which projects could be among those entering operation in 2025.

RES and Octopus Renewables’ three projects in Scotland, Wales and the south east of England have all made the cut; Carlton Power’s projects Barrow Green Hydrogen, Langage Green Hydrogen and Trafford Green Hydrogen are also among those in the running.
