UK green-H₂ programme runs through DESNZ HAR (Hydrogen Allocation Round). Tees Green Hydrogen (EDF + Hynamics), RWE Grangemouth (at INEOS site, 200 MWe), and HyNet North West are headline projects.
01. Pre-pricing — CSCS + CIS + DSEAR competency
CSCS card per worker. CIS 20%/30%. DSEAR 2002 competency per H₂ zone worker.
02. Sponsor Licence + Skilled Worker + IGEM/H/1
Sponsor Licence + Skilled Worker £41,700 floor. IGEM/H/1 hydrogen-infrastructure code competency.
03. CITB + HSE COMAH onboarding
CITB Levy. HSE COMAH 2015 upper-tier safety case cascades into contractor file.
04. HMRC + HSE + DESNZ-defensible evidence pack
Minimum pack: bank-traceable remuneration to UK bank, English-language CoS + contract, CIS statements, CITB returns, CSCS card, DSEAR competency record per zone worker.
05. India and Gulf sourcing corridors — the UK H₂ pathway
Indian H₂-process trade through IIW + BHEL + L&T. Gulf via ADNOC / QatarGas. The 8 to 14-week corridor delivers Group-IIC-competent candidates against Tees, Grangemouth, or HyNet.
