UK – Price Based Competitive Allocation for Low Carbon Hydrogen: Call for Evidence

price low carbon hydrogen

UK – Price based competitive allocation for low carbon hydrogen: call for evidence.

In the British Energy Security Strategy, we set out our aim to run annual allocation rounds for electrolytic hydrogen, moving to price-based competition by 2025 as soon as legislation and market conditions allow.

The purpose of this call for evidence is to gather evidence to understand more about:

  • market conditions needed for the UK to transition to price-based competitive allocation for electrolytic projects and potentially other specified non-CCUS (carbon capture, usage and storage) technologies
  • the extent to which a price-based competitive allocation process could incentivise projects to support broader outcomes beyond cost reduction of low carbon hydrogen production:
    • harnessing electricity system benefits
    • economic benefits and supply chain development
    • security of supply of hydrogen
  • how price-based competitive allocation should be designed

We welcome responses from anyone but expect this call for evidence to be of particular interest to:

  • those considering developing new electrolytic projects, and other non-CCUS low carbon hydrogen production projects in the United Kingdom
  • businesses involved in low carbon hydrogen production supply chains
  • electricity suppliers
  • consumer and environmental groups with an interest in low carbon hydrogen production
  • trade bodies with an interest in low carbon hydrogen and renewables sectors
