The Government of Scotland has launched a GBP10 million (US$12.1 million) Emerging Energy Technologies Fund (EETF) Hydrogen Innovation Scheme.

The fund is designed to support the development and demonstration of renewable hydrogen technologies and products needed to support the Scottish Government’s ambition of 5GW installed hydrogen production capacity by 2030.

The EETF Hydrogen Innovation Scheme is split into two streams:

• Stream 1 will provide funding for feasibility studies or technical demonstration of hydrogen production, distribution or storage solutions;
• Stream 2 will provide support for the development of test and demonstration facilities and equipment in Scotland.
