About this event
Join us to hear all about the new £10m Hydrogen Innovation Scheme (HIS) which is opening at the end of June and will be delivered over the next four years.
At the launch webinar, you will have the opportunity to discuss the HIS in detail and learn how it will be implemented and supported by the enterprise agencies and innovation support organisations.
The HIS aims to drive technological progress and advance innovation in Scotland and is part of the renewable hydrogen funding stream of the Emerging Energy Technology Fund (EETF).
The Scottish Government Draft Hydrogen Action Plan (HAP), published in November 2021, committed to £100m in renewable hydrogen funding through the Emerging Energy Technology Fund (EETF) to support its ambition of 5GW by 2030. The draft Hydrogen Action Plan sets out the strategic approach the Scottish Government will take with industry to help make Scotland become a leading nation in the production of reliable, competitive and sustainable hydrogen. The capital investment programme will focus on supporting regional renewable hydrogen production hubs and renewable hydrogen projects.
A press release with further details can be read here.
