MEMBRANE reactors, chemical looping processes and thermochemical splitting of water by advanced nuclear reactor are among dozens of hydrogen projects that have received a share of £44m (US$55m) in development funding by the UK Government. The Government is backing 28 projects through its Low Carbon Hydrogen Supply competition, following plans announced last month in its Energy Security Strategy to reach 10 GW of hydrogen production by 2030. The majority of the funding, totalling just over £38m, has been given to five projects to physically demonstrate their technologies, with the remaining 23 projects sharing just over £6m to conduct feasibility studies.
