Green Hydrogen in Steel Industry: HYDESS Project & Bay Hydrogen Hub’s Innovations
Here’s an article posted in Energy News that talks about HYDESS project’s approach to the steel industry.
According to the article,
- The Industrial Hydrogen Accelerator Programme is a £26 million initiative supporting innovation projects for industrial fuel switching to hydrogen.
- Stream 2A of the programme provided up to £400,000 for feasibility studies, and the Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) has awarded around £2.95 million in funding across 9 projects.
