By 2050 the government is aiming for around 20-35% of UK energy to be fuelled by hydrogen, with plans to continue to expand the project. Here is a hydrogen development timeline that explains where the journey began, what it involves and how we will get there.
The HSE Science and Research Centre in Buxton becomes the world’s first ever testing facility for 100% hydrogen and the largest clean energy project in the world.
The government’s “10 point for a Green Industrial Revolution” includes plans for a hydrogen village, town and city to support the widespread adoption of hydrogen across the UK.
The BEIS issue the Energy White paper to provide more detail on how carbon emissions will be cut over the next 10 years and support 220,000 industry jobs.
The paper reveals more detail on how hydrogen will be used to help achieve net zero targets by 2050.
668 homes and businesses trial a 20/80% hydrogen/gas blend following a smaller, successful trial at Keele University.
£3.9bn in new funding is pledged by the Heat and Buildings Strategy to decarbonise heat and buildings. This includes the Boiler Upgrade Scheme which offers a £5k subsidy for heat pump installations.
The UN Climate Change Conference took place in Glasgow, bringing together nearly all the world’s most influential leads to discuss plans on how to combat the climate crisis.
Located in Buckhaven, Fife, the H100 project will trial 300 homes with 10% hydrogen fuel for heating and cooking. As the project progresses, this will eventually be expanded to 1,000 homes.
Initially announced as a ban and then re-worded to be more ambiguous in the Heat and Buildings Strategy, gas boilers could be banned from installation in new build homes. This has yet to be fully confirmed. All boiler installations in UK properties should use low-carbon technology by 2035.
2,000 occupied homes, offices and other buildings will use 100% hydrogen for a 12-month period. It will be used for heating, hot water and cooking activities.
10GW of hydrogen production as it is supplied to towns and cities so testing can continue at scale.
Hydrogen could supply as much as 23-35% of the UK’s energy by 2050, gradually increasing as production capabilities scale up.
