UK awards funding to hydrogen Beccs projects
Government selects 22 organisations to share £5mn of support for demonstration of hydrogen production from bioenergy with carbon capture and storage
The UK government has awarded grants totalling £5mn ($6.1mn) to 22 organisations to support the development of technology to produce hydrogen from bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (Beccs). Selected organisations will use the funding to scope and develop prototype demonstration projects. They will also be eligible to apply for second-phase funding to support the implementation of the demonstration projects. The funding forms part of the government’s £1bn Net Zero Innovation Portfolio scheme, which aims to accelerate the commercialisation of innovative clean energy technologies.
