Notice summary: Phase 2 of the hydrogen supply programme will result in the implementation and demonstration of a hydrogen supply solution and will consider applications to pilot key components or further develop the design of the new hydrogen supply solutions. Description: The hydrogen supply phase 2, pilot demonstration will fund up to £7.5m for each demonstration project, with an overall budget of up to £15m. Phase 2 is only open to projects that have taken part in Phase 1 of the hydrogen supply competition. Phase 2 will result in the implementation and demonstration of a hydrogen supply solution and will consider applications to pilot key components or further develop the design of the new hydrogen supply solutions. A pilot demonstration is not limited to a physical demonstration and may only be for part(s) of the process. This could include detailed process modelling or engineering design. No completely new applicants will be able to enter the Competition at Phase 2, although some variation in project partners may be permitted.
