It came as the EC broke cover with proposals for emergency market intervention, aimed at reducing energy bills for Europeans, made up of “exceptional electricity demand reduction measures” and measures to redistribute surplus revenues […]

Back in October of last year, Cadent released its “Hydrogen Ten Point Plan”, where it signalled its ambition to make hydrogen a safe, fair and reliable choice for consumers, and set out how it will go about delivering that. It has now published a first update to that plan, detailing its progress over the last […]

In an attempt to tackle one of the most significant challenges of green hydrogen production, a team of researchers have successfully demonstrated a method of producing it directly from air. Publishing their findings in the journal, Nature Communications, the researchers from the Universities of Melbourne and Manchester explained that while green hydrogen produced by water […]

The UK has been told to “act swiftly” on hydrogen and capture the opportunities it presents, or risk falling behind international competitors, by engineering organisations. The Royal Academy of Engineering-led National Engineering Policy Centre (NEPC) – a partnership of 42 engineering organisations – published a report, in which it highlighted a “significant gap” between current […]

Carlton Power has unveiled plans to build Devon and Cornwall’s first low carbon hydrogen hub, having already announced plans for projects in Cumbria and Greater Manchester. In early September, it revealed its intention to build a 10MW hydrogen hub within the Langage Energy Park, providing local companies with easy access to hydrogen fuel. Planning consent […]

Fleets in the Tees Valley Hydrogen Transport Hub area have been forecast to meet a third of demand the hub is set to face when it commences a five-year trial from 2025. In late August, Cenex released, Preparing for Fuel Cell Vehicle Rollout: Trials, Analysis and Deployment Planning for Hydrogen Fleets, where it analysed fleet […]

The government has launched a consultation, seeking views on hydrogen transport and storage infrastructure business model designs, regulatory arrangements, strategic planning, and the role of blending. Set to run until 11:45PM on 22 November, the consultation is specifically exploring design options for hydrogen transport and storage infrastructure business models; the need for a strategic planning […]

Air Products and Associated British Ports (ABP) have linked up, signalling their ambitions to bring a first, large-scale green hydrogen production facility to the UK, describing it as a first-mover project that will help to stimulate demand and support the development of a local and national green hydrogen market. By being based at the Port […]

Cadent has launched a search for someone that can provide engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) services for the first 100% hydrogen pipeline at scale – as part of the HyNet cluster. This is set to consist of a 125km underground pipeline, made of high pressure steel pipelines and associated lower pressure spurs, as well […]

Members of the UK Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association (UK HFCA) will lobby parliament in September to help drive the UK to net zero. On 19 August, the UK HFCA outlined how businesses and organisations across energy, transport and industry will join MPs and its own representatives for a “Seizing the UK’s Hydrogen Opportunity Rally”, […]
