Project:

Hydrogen Hub

Overview:

This project will help kick-start the hydrogen economy in North Wales by supporting and delivering a hydrogen hub.

The hub will include the supply and use of hydrogen, with up to £11.2m Growth Deal capital going towards enabling demand, converting today’s fossil-fuelled organisations into hydrogen customers of tomorrow.

Later this year, we will launch a competitive process to appoint an organisation(s) to develop and deliver the project.
