General H2 Sector Background Information
Hydrogen Production - How much hydrogen is currently produced in your city and what are your plans for increasing hydrogen production within the next five years?
Detailed information is not currently available.

Our project is looking initially at local production potential from renewable generation sources, although large scale importation of hydrogen in the form of ammonia or other (e.g. LOHC) may be required in the long term to support the large volumes of H2 demand that are anticipated.

Two H2 production projects already exist, which are both at an early stage of development (Ryze Hydrogen and Project Cavendish).
Hydrogen Consumption - How much hydrogen is currently consumed in your city and what are your plans for increasing hydrogen consumption within the next five years?
Detailed information is not currently available.

Our project has focused on identifying clusters of potential hydrogen demand, considering the optimal hydrogen use cases, in particular, transport applications. Several clusters have been identified, mostly centred around ports, airports, distribution & logistics centres, and industry across the Estuary.
Hydrogen Production - What energy resources/feedstocks are present locally that could be used to produce hydrogen today?
a. Solar
b. Wind
e. Biomass and waste
g. Fossil with CCS
Hydrogen Production - Which resources/feedstocks do you plan to focus on within the next five years?
a. Solar
b. Wind
e. Biomass and waste
g. Fossil with CCS
Hydrogen Infrastructure - What existing hydrogen infrastructure is present in your city and in which areas will you increase deployment in the next five years?
a. Refueling stations
b. Hydrogen production facilities (e.g., electrolyzers)
d. Large-scale hydrogen storage, e.g. underground caverns, liquid storage, etc.
g. Other- Please Specify Below
If you answered "Other" above, please specify here.
Other- considering how hydrogen could be imported into the Estuary from abroad or other parts of the country, both as hydrogen or in other forms (e.g. ammonia, LOHC).
Hydrogen End-Use - What sectors currently consume hydrogen in your city?
a. Transportation
Provide any other information to be shared publicly that may be of value in being selected as a potential twin city.
The Thames Estuary Hydrogen Route Map was published in October 2021. The following link will take you to the news article, from which a pdf version of the Route Map can be downloaded: https://thamesestuary.org.uk/news-and-events/thames-estuary-hydrogen-route-map-launched/
