Teesside hydrogen plant decision delayed again

The government has delayed a decision on the construction of a hydrogen plant at the Teesworks site in Redcar, UK, due to a dispute over land earmarked for an AI data center. Energy company BP is seeking approval for the plant, which is crucial for UK hydrogen production targets by 2030. The government's Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) has extended the decision deadline to December 4 to allow further review, emphasizing that the outcome will be in the "national interest."
