Kevin Selleslags, our CEO at Hygen Energy(pictured left), participated in the excellent Bankable Energies event, joining a panel of senior experts to discuss the future of hydrogen projects in the UK.

The conversation focused on key challenges and opportunities, including the availability of funds to support hydrogen projects, what is needed to establish a liquid hydrogen market, and how the UK can connect with European demand.

The panel of leaders reflected on experiences with the Hydrogen Allocation Round (HAR) process and explored possible improvements for future rounds.

There is a shared recognition of the biggest challenges facing current proposed projects, with a strong consensus that 2025 is the time to act decisively after years of discussion.

Expectations are that several HAR1 projects will reach Final Investment Decision this year, with construction commencing shortly, turning commitments into reality.

Hygen Energy remains committed to delivering low-carbon hydrogen solutions and ensuring that the UK’s hydrogen sector moves from planning to execution.

We have an active slate of hydrogen production plans in development, including the Bradford Low Carbon Hydrogen project, which is currently underway with our partners N-Gen.

This flagship plant will be one of the largest low-carbon hydrogen production facilities in the UK and was the largest scheme to receive government funding through the first hydrogen allocation round from the Hydrogen Production Business Models.
