Bid To Create UK’s First Regional Hydrogen Network

The title of this post is the same as this article on the BBC.

This is the sub-heading

Four energy companies are working together to bid for government funding to develop the UK’s first regional hydrogen transport and storage network.

This two paragraphs add more details to the article.

National Gas, Centrica, Equinor and SSE Thermal aim to secure about £500m of funding to develop the network, which will connect sites across the Humber region.

“This is a competitive process that will determine where the UK’s first integrated hydrogen network is built,” a spokesperson for the four companies said.

Note.

1. There are already several hydrogen projects in the area including Aldbrough Hydrogen Storage,  H2H Saltend, and Ferrybridge and Keadby Next Generation Power Stations.
2. The local MPs seem in favour.
3. In Could Doncaster Sheffield Airport Become A Hydrogen Airport?, I laid out my reasons, why Doncaster Sheffield Airport could become a hydrogen airport.

I can see this hydrogen cluster having a big future.
