## Description

The aim of the Hydrogen Supply 2 Competition: Stream 1 is to identify, support and then develop credible innovative hydrogen supply or enabling technologies to bring about a step change in their development\. The Stream 1 Competition has been run as a two-phase competition\. Stream 1 Phase 2: Demonstration \(up to £6m\) A Phase 2 project must aim to physically demonstrate the same core innovation that was the focus of the feasibility study in Phase 1 of the Stream 1 competition\. There should be a clear, linear continuation of the Phase 1 project\. Phase 2 will support the physical demonstration of the hydrogen supply solution, including engineering design, build, trial, decommissioning, market assessment, and knowledge dissemination\. The demonstration study should either demonstrate the entire hydrogen supply solution \(where necessary simulating scenarios of the hydrogen uses\), or key components or a prototype in a relevant environment, or further develop and demonstrate the physical design of new solutions to enable low carbon hydrogen supply solutions\. Companies will also develop technical and business plans for market deployment\.
