The Hydrogen & Industrial Carbon Capture (HICC) Directorate is leading an expanding programme to deliver low carbon hydrogen and industrial carbon capture as key planks of the Government's approach to achieving Energy Security and Net Zero.
Hydrogen is one of a handful of new, low carbon solutions that will be critical for the UKs energy security and transition to net zero. As part of a deeply decarbonised, deeply renewable energy system, low carbon hydrogen could be a versatile replacement for high-carbon fossil fuels used today helping to bring down emissions and provide flexible energy for power, industry, transport and potentially heating. Industrial carbon capture will be critical to decarbonise vital UK industrial sectors and forms an important element of the Governments £20 billion Carbon Capture, Usage and Storage (CCUS) Programme.
The Hydrogen Strategy & Portfolio team coordinates and manages or supports the delivery of the UKs Hydrogen Strategy and associated programmes to deliver the strategy, including the £240 million Net Zero Hydrogen Fund, electrolytic Hydrogen Allocation Rounds (the first of which has announced contracts supported by over £2 billion from government), Hydrogen Transport & Storage allocation, negotiations with CCUS-enabled hydrogen and industrial carbon capture projects, and the hydrogen and CCUS GIGA manufacturing support fund as well as cross cutting policy to support the development of the UK hydrogen economy such as standards and certification, market and regulatory frameworks, and development of UK hydrogen skills and supply chains.
The team is multidisciplinary in nature, bringing together strategy, policy and project delivery. It is made up of policy, communications and project delivery professionals who lead the Directorates strategy, briefing and correspondence, strategic comms and engagement, international engagement, trade policy, governance, planning, risk management, finance and resource management, and provide PMO support to policy and delivery teams across the HICC Directorate. (To note, the exact nature and remit of the role(s) may change slightly to take account of business need.
We are a friendly, inclusive and motivated team and our work is grounded in a multidisciplinary, cross-cutting approach working closely with teams across DESNZ and government, and with a range of industry partners. We place high value on diversity and inclusion and encourage candidates from a range of backgrounds to apply.
