WORLD'S FIRST LOW CARBON H2 PLANT

World’s first low carbon hydrogen plant given green light.

The first low carbon hydrogen plant in the world has received a £7.5M government funding package.

The UK government announced a dual funding package for two hydrogen power projects in the North West of England.

The overall £13M fund will finance the development of the Cheshire hydrogen plant project, and will fund trials for hydrogen fuelling near Liverpool. The Hynet consortium in the North West of England will lead the projects.

Hynet is made up of companies including gas group Cadent, clean energy developer Progressive Energy and Peel Environmental

When complete, the low carbon hydrogen plant at Essar Oil UK's Stanlow refinery in Cheshire will produce 3TWh of low carbon hydrogen, double the amount of biomethane produced in the UK. The plant will also capture and store 95% of the carbon used in the process - Link
