UK gearing up for energy boom as firms give ‘dream fuel’ a huge vote of confidence

Funding was awarded to 28 projects across the UK, including Scotland, Wales and the north of England.  Leading engineering company Kent also won a £1billion contract to carry out the major design work for Vertex Hydrogen as part of a plan to create a huge hydrogen network to produce, store and distribute hydrogen to power industry and homes, known as HyNet North West. 

The hydrogen plant is expected to start producing in 2026, generating more than 1 GW of hydrogen. A joint venture between Essar Energy and Progressive Energy will oversee the design, development and construction of HyNet, which is considered to be one of two clusters selected by the Government to be fast-tracked.

Clean Power Hydrogen is another hydrogen company that appears to be making headway. Jom Duffy, the company’s CEO, told the Telegraph: “We’re very, very close now from being what was an RD company two years ago to next year being a production company.
