Government is pleased to announce this next stage of the HAR2 process and looks forward to working with industry to deliver its vision for a thriving low carbon hydrogen economy in the UK.
Shortlisted project developers should continue to develop and further mature their projects, whilst aiming to drive down costs in accordance with the Cost Challenge Document we have published.
A project鈥檚 inclusion on the shortlist does not guarantee Government support and, similar to the First Hydrogen Allocation Round (HAR1), it is unlikely that all projects will be successful. As such being on the shortlist does not imply availability of funding for any of the shortlisted projects.鈥�
A shortlisted project will need to pass a rigorous due diligence stage in order to progress to the next stage of the allocation process and our decisions on which projects will be successful will be based on value for money and affordability.
We will provide a further update on the HAR2 process in due course.
