Hydrogen Production Business Model

A long-term UK government revenue support contract that makes low-carbon hydrogen production projects commercially viable.

Quick answer

The Hydrogen Production Business Model (HPBM) is a long-term, contract-based revenue support mechanism that closes the gap between the cost of producing low-carbon hydrogen and the price hydrogen producers can achieve in the market. It underpins both electrolytic and CCUS-enabled hydrogen production projects and is the contractual basis used in the Hydrogen Allocation Rounds.
