Introducing East Midlands Hydrogen
East Midlands Hydrogen is a new, industry-led initiative that will boost the energy revolution in the East Midlands by growing the UK’s largest inland hydrogen cluster. Plans for regional hydrogen production, distribution and industrial use are gathering momentum and East Midlands Hydrogen will support and accelerate these plans, supporting decarbonisation of industry, mobility and power generation.
We will create new highly skilled jobs and the training facilities that this growing sector will require. We aim to enable major industries in the area, along with business start-ups and scale-ups, to support the UK’s plans for net zero and energy independence — all while bolstering the levelling up agenda.
East Midlands Hydrogen Footprint
East Midlands Hydrogen covers Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and the northern half of Leicestershire, where there is a concentrated cluster of prospective industrial hydrogen customers, and the potential for large-scale hydrogen production, connected by a section of Cadent's proposed East Coast Hydrogen pipeline.
