Hydrogen production and industrial carbon capture regulations consultation

Views sought on revenue support regulations for hydrogen production, industrial carbon capture and waste ICC business models.

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) has launched a consultation seeking views on proposals for revenue support regulations in relation to the hydrogen production business model, industrial carbon capture (ICC) and waste ICC business models, including:

• the process by which the Secretary of State may direct a counterparty to offer to contract with an eligible low carbon hydrogen producer or carbon capture entity
• requirements that certain information about contracts and projects must be published
• the meaning of ‘eligible’ in relation to a low carbon hydrogen producer and carbon capture entity to determine the type of projects that could be supported through the business models

The consultation is open to all, but responses are encouraged in particular from those directly affected by these proposals, or have an interest in low carbon hydrogen and industrial carbon capture projects, including:

• project developers
• financial investors
• trade associations
