We are delighted to announce the signing of the hydrogen production contract with the Low Carbon Contracts Company (LCCC) under Hydrogen Allocation Round 1 (HAR1). This is part of the UK Government's Hydrogen Production Business Model and MorGen is proud to be one of the first three companies to achieve this milestone. This achievement represents a significant step forward in delivering South Wales' first large-scale green hydrogen production facility, supporting the UK’s transition to net zero. Julien Rolland, CEO of MorGen Energy, commented: “We view the UK as one of the most attractive green hydrogen markets in Europe. The UK Government has established the right framework and conditions to unlock significant private investment and support project delivery at scale. We are actively exploring additional investments in green hydrogen production sites in the UK to support our long-term ambition of achieving 3 GW of production capacity across Europe by 2030.” The green hydrogen produced by our 20 MW facility in Milford Haven will support a range of applications across South Wales, including industrial power and chemical feedstock, highlighting its versatility in decarbonising hard-to-abate sectors in the UK. #WestWalesProject #GreenHydrogen #NetZero #Sustainability #Innovation #EnergyTransition
Today, we are proud to announce the signing of the first three contracts under Hydrogen Allocation Round 1 (HAR1), a pivotal step in our journey to Net Zero. These first of 11 Hydrogen projects under HAR1 will help fuel hard-to-abate sectors such as heavy transport and manufacturing, driving economic growth and reducing emissions. Fostering progress in key industrial regions across Britain, HAR1 represents a pivotal moment in delivering on the government's Net Zero ambitions. Together, we are helping to turn policy into action, driving forward a sustainable energy transition. Industry Minister Sarah Jones said: “On the heels of the recent launch of the UK's carbon capture and storage sector, we're moving swiftly to develop the infrastructure necessary for Net Zero while creating good jobs and developing the skills of the future. These projects are helping our mission to make Britain a clean energy superpower, ensuring hydrogen will become an important part of the UK’s future energy mix.” Neil McDermott, Chief Executive at LCCC said: "We are proud to sign the first three of these pioneering contracts under Hydrogen Allocation Round 1 (HAR1) that will enable the production of 31.8MW of low carbon hydrogen. This milestone signifies our commitment to accelerating Britain’s journey towards a Net Zero future and underscores our pivotal role in delivering transformative projects, utilising cutting-edge technology, that drives decarbonisation. We are eager to partner with our new stakeholders to deliver these groundbreaking projects." Clare Jackson, CEO at Hydrogen UK said: "Signed contracts for these first three projects is a landmark achievement for the UK hydrogen sector. It demonstrates the confidence and commitment of both Government and industry in building a sustainable hydrogen sector. We look forward to maintaining this momentum and ensuring that the remaining eight projects progress swiftly. With full focus in January, we can build on these first projects and deliver a thriving hydrogen industry which will be vital for meeting the UK’s Net Zero targets, driving economic growth, and creating jobs.” Read more here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eyrSVjn6 #HAR1 #Hydrogen #Renewableenergy #NetZero
