I see that Innovate UK are co-funding the Hydrogen vehicle fuel system at Rotherham EETC:

Can to advise how much has been disbursed to date by Innovate UK on this project - including grants and service provision to the operators ITC ?
Can you also advise if any performance reports have been generated with respect to amounts of Hydrogen formed on site, number of filling operations performed and sundry energy provided on site for non vehicular use?

Dear Innovate UK,
further to FOI2021/00117
"Could you please confirm the dates of the funding from Innovate UK"
I would like to know how much funding Innovate UK has contributed in total to the Hydrogen Mini Grid Project at Rotherham Advanced Manufacturing Park EETC since its inception - which seems to be 2007 and runs to the present time.
As far as "service provision" at the filling station is concerned ITC seemingly physically operate the filling station / compressors/ storage and metering facility - I would like to know if ITC are paid a fee (by Innovate UK) for operating the facility or do they self fund via charges for Hydrogen dispensed?
With respect to Innovate UK web pages - Google find no reference to the Rotherham Hydrogen Mini Grid at the AMP site.
try: https://www.google.com/search?q=hydrogen...
In fact a simple search for "Hydrogen" shows not not much on the www.gov.uk domain.
I have also looked at the 15MB spreadsheet of projects since 2004 and cannot see a reference to the EETC site / Hydrogen filling station at: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk...
regards
Tom Oliva
Yours faithfully,
Tom Oliva
