A 20-strong industry group has urged the UK government to back the HyNet cluster’s planned regional hydrogen network in the Northwest of England with £500m ($674m) in a bid to unlock investment and safeguard local jobs.
The planned 100-125km underground hydrogen pipeline network will transport carbon capture-enabled low-carbon hydrogen produced at EET Hydrogen’s Stanlow, Cheshire, facility to industrial consumers, enabling large-scale demand.
Made up of companies including glass maker Pilkington, British Salt, and Jaguar Land Rover, the group hopes to secure the £500m from the government’s Hydrogen Transport and Storage Business Model.
