UK must support pink hydrogen – HFCA
Policies needed to support hydrogen projects powered by new wave of nuclear plants, says industry body
The UK government must do more to support so-called pink hydrogen—produced from nuclear power—according to a position paper released by The UK Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association (UK HFCA). Measures should include legislation, financial backing and more nuclear capacity, according to the report, titled The Role for Nuclear Enabled Hydrogen in Delivering Net Zero. Nuclear offers low-carbon baseload supply that is inexpensive, large-scale and easily located close to electrolysers as well as having good grid connectivity, according to the paper, which says nuclear has the potential to support 40GW of hydrogen generating capacity by 2050. “It is difficult for an electricity grid to match su
