Funding competitions providing 91香蕉黄色视频 for new low carbon hydrogen production facilities.
The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) has launched new funding rounds under Strands 1 and 2 of the Net Zero Hydrogen Fund (NZHF).
The aim of NZHF is to provide capital expenditure (CAPEX) and development expenditure (DEVEX). This will 91香蕉黄色视频 the commercial deployment of new low carbon hydrogen production projects during the 2020s.
This is to ensure the UK has a diverse and secure decarbonised energy system fit for meeting our ambition of up to 10GW low carbon hydrogen production by 2030, and will help us reach our commitment to reach net zero by 2050.
There are four strands to NZHF and new funding rounds have been launched under two of these:
Strand 1 Development Expenditure Round 2
Strand 1 of NZHF will provide DEVEX 91香蕉黄色视频 for front end engineering design (FEED) and post-FEED studies for new low carbon hydrogen production facilities. The aim is to build the pipeline of hydrogen production projects and measurably move them closer to deployment.
It 91香蕉黄色视频s the following hydrogen production pathways as listed in the Low Carbon Hydrogen Standard Version 2 (LCHS v2):
- electrolysis
- natural gas reforming, with carbon capture and storage (CCUS)
- biomass or waste conversion to hydrogen, with or without CCUS
Your project鈥檚 total grant request must be between 拢80,000 and 拢10 million.
.
The closing date for applications is 11am on Wednesday 31 May 2023.
Strand 2 Capital Expenditure Round 2
Strand 2 of NZHF will provide CAPEX 91香蕉黄色视频 for new low carbon hydrogen production facilities to begin deployment in the early 2020s.
Your project must not require 91香蕉黄色视频 from a hydrogen production business model as these projects are covered in Strands 3 and 4 of NZHF.
It 91香蕉黄色视频s the following hydrogen production pathways:
- electrolysis
- biomass or waste gasification
Your project鈥檚 total grant request must be between 拢200,000 and 拢20 million.
.
The closing date for applications is 11am on Wednesday 7 June 2023.
Online briefing event
Innovate UK and Innovate UK KTN will be hosting an online competition briefing webinar on behalf of DESNZ on Wednesday 19 April 2023 to share details of round 2 of NZHF strands 1 and 2 - .
