Transportation and storage will be crucial to scaling up the UK’s hydrogen sector
UK consults on hydrogen storage and transportation support
A regional or national network for hydrogen transportation and storage could be needed from the mid-2030s
The UK government has this week launched a consultation on a potential subsidy, or ‘business model’, for hydrogen storage and transportation. The government’s focus up to now has been on the development of production capacity, with a subsidy scheme for electrolytic projects launched in July.
