Hydrogen Innovation Initiative Demonstration 2023-24

Businesses can apply for up to £50,000 to trial technology related to the production, conversion, distribution or end use of hydrogen

Hydrogen presents a huge opportunity for UK to build new supply chains, targeting the $2.5 trillion global hydrogen market by 2050.

The Hydrogen Innovation Initiative (HII) has been created as a strategic national programme to make hydrogen work for the UK and ensure that we seize this opportunity.

Connected Places Catapult, acting as a partner of the HII, is looking to procure results from near term demonstrations, and has allocated a budget of up to £50,000 per project to contribute to the costs of the demonstration activities.

The activities should be in two or more of the following areas:

• hydrogen production
• hydrogen conversion
• hydrogen distribution
• hydrogen end use

The demonstration needs to be in the latter stages of planning, with a consortium of funded and suitable partners already engaged. The demonstration activity and reporting should be complete by November 2024.
