N-Gen and Hygen Energy have secured a Low Carbon Hydrogen Agreement (LCHA) for their 35MW hydrogen production project in Bradford, UK. The initiative, backed by government funding, will produce low-carbon hydrogen, a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels. Under the LCHA, the project will be able to sell hydrogen at a competitive price for the next 15 years, bridging the cost gap between hydrogen and conventional fuels like diesel.
The £120m facility at the Birkshall site, set to begin operations in 2027, will produce up to 12.5 tonnes of hydrogen per day. It will also feature storage and refuelling facilities, serving hydrogen-powered vehicles in the region. The project was selected for funding under the government’s Hydrogen Allocation Round 1 (HAR1) programme in 2023.
This agreement marks a significant step in the UK’s efforts to scale up low-carbon hydrogen production, which has gained momentum in recent years. By June 2025, only six of the 11 projects selected for HAR1 had signed agreements with the Low Carbon Contracts Company (LCCC). The Bradford project joins others, such as GeoPura’s 8MW HyMarnham and Hyro’s 9MW Green Hydrogen 3, in advancing the UK’s hydrogen sector.
