Industrial hydrogen projects led by EDF and Eon have won government funding to be further developed. An EDF-led consortium has secured more than £6 million to develop its Bay Hydrogen Hub – Hydrogen4Hanson scheme to develop nuclear derived hydrogen production at Heysham 2 power station to be used in the production of asphalt. Meanwhile, the Eon-led team has won just shy of £1 million to demonstrate how hydrogen can be used to decarbonise the production of steel in Sheffield.
