LONDON (ICIS)–The UK government has published its response to the consultation launched in February 2023 on its proposals for a Low Carbon Hydrogen Certification Scheme (LCHCS).
A total of 72 responses were received, with the UK government publishing several key policy decisions within the government response.
BACKGROUND
The UK aims to have up to 1GW of electrolytic hydrogen in construction or operational by 2025, with up to 2GW of production capacity overall including CCUS-enabled hydrogen in operation or construction by 2025.
The government developed the Low Carbon Hydrogen Standard (LCHS) that sets a maximum threshold of 20gCO2e/MJLHV of produced hydrogen for greenhouse gas emissions allowed in the production process for hydrogen to be considered low carbon.
