The UK government has approved plans for a hydrogen production plant in Bradford, as part of a wider initiative to boost clean energy production. The agreement allows N-Gen Energy Solutions and Hygen Energy to commence construction on a low-carbon green hydrogen production facility. This project is part of a government scheme to transition British industry away from fossil fuels towards domestically produced low-carbon hydrogen, with the aim of reducing emissions in heavy industries such as steel and heavy transport. The facility will utilize renewable electricity to produce hydrogen for the mobility sector, with potential customers including companies like JCB and Wrightbus. Industry Minister Sarah Jones highlighted the importance of hydrogen in cutting industrial emissions and supporting industrial renewal in the UK. N-Gen's managing director, Gareth Mills, emphasized the economic benefits the facility will bring to Bradford, offering local businesses a way to decarbonise and attracting new companies and jobs to the area. Hygen's director, Jamie Burns, sees the planning permission as a significant step towards providing benefits to the people of Bradford and the surrounding area. The project, located on Bowling Back Lane, aims to position Bradford at the forefront of the transition to clean energy, showcasing how complex projects like this can boost the hydrogen and green economies of the UK.
