Consultation on design of the hydrogen and CCUS supply chain fund

Call for input on the £960 million Green Industries Growth Accelerator to support clean energy supply chains across the UK.

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) is seeking evidence to help inform the design of the hydrogen and CCUS Green Industries Growth Accelerator (GIGA) supply chain fund.

The Green Industries Growth Accelerator (GIGA) is a £960 million fund announced in Autumn 2023 to support the expansion of strong and sustainable clean energy supply chains across the United Kingdom, including:

• carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS), engineered greenhouse gas removals (GGRs) and hydrogen
• offshore wind and electricity networks
• civil nuclear

The purpose of the call for evidence is to:

• inform the design of the fund to support hydrogen and CCUS (including GGRs) supply chains
• gather insight into the manufacturing project pipeline and the issues faced by the supply chain within the CCUS and hydrogen sectors
• inform understanding of CCUS and hydrogen market readiness for GIGA funding
