The UK government invested 500 million pounds in the development of hydrogen energy

According to a June 13 news release from the UK government website, the UK government confirmed on the 13th that it would invest over GBP 500 million in hydrogen energy infrastructure (as part of the "Transformation Plan"), creating thousands of clean energy jobs in key industrial towns in the UK. This investment aims to position the UK as a clean energy powerhouse.

The new funding will be used to build the UK's first regional hydrogen energy transportation and storage network, connecting hydrogen production companies with important end-users such as power stations and industries for the first time.

While creating clean energy for industrial areas, this plan will also generate thousands of technical jobs in Merseyside, Teesside, and the Humber region, with the relevant supply chain also benefiting. The investment will also benefit manufacturing industries with robust hydrogen demand, such as steel, glass, chemicals, and ceramics. The government's upcoming Infrastructure Strategy will detail this long-term plan to safeguard the country's industrial future.
