British Steel studies use of green hydrogen
Feasibility study to be carried out with RWE, UCL and Materials Processing Institute following government grant
UK steelmaker British Steel is conducting a major study into the use of green hydrogen in its operations following the receipt of a £161,000 ($200,000) grant to do so from the UK government’s Net Zero Innovation Portfolio (NZIP). The six-month study will be carried out at the firm’s Teesside Beam Mill in collaboration with utility EDF, and research institutions UCL and the Materials Processing Institute. The Tees green hydrogen project is already underway in the region, with the aim of using green electricity from the nearby Teesside Offshore Wind Farm and a proposed solar facility to power a hydrogen electrolyser. “This study is a vital and hugely exciting step” Adcock, British Steel
