From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT

By Paul Homewood

Funding to build the UK’s largest hydrogen production facility in Bradford has been confirmed by Chancellor Rachel Reeves.

Bradford Low Carbon Hydrogen, a redevelopment of a former gas storage site, is the largest of 11 green hydrogen projects set to receive a share of £2bn from the government.

The Bradford project, which already has planning permission, is expected to create up to 125 new jobs for the city.

It will have the capacity to produce 12.5 tonnes of hydrogen each day, removing around 800 diesel buses from West Yorkshire’s roads on a daily basis.

The project is being delivered by joint venture partners N-Gen and Hygen, with support from Bradford Council.

Hydrogen production will secure the future of Bradford’s Birkshall site which has a rich heritage stretching back almost 100 years, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.

It was previously home to three large gas holders, with the site producing and storing gas for use by the city’s homes and businesses.

Hydrogen does not emit carbon when burned, meaning it can support the decarbonisation of several sectors, including heavy transport such as HGVs and buses.

So for a hundred million or two, we will get enough hydrogen to power 800 diesel buses!

Bargain!
