Works to commence on Herne Bay hydrogen production plant

Ryze Hydrogen founder Jo Bamford says the company is aiming to begin construction on the multi-million-pound facility before the new year, more than 12 months behind schedule.

“We are still very much focused on the project in Herne Bay,” he said. “We had hoped to start work last year, but as with many things, Covid has had an impact on our timelines.

We’re in final discussions with key contractors, and hope to begin work as soon as possible, with the aim of the plant being open and producing green hydrogen in the second half of 2022.

The plant will bring huge benefits to the local community, including the creation of jobs both during its construction and its operation.”
