Manston HTE
Welcome to our project website, which has been created to share information about our emerging proposals for a new waste-to-hydrogen facility in Manston, Kent.
Here, you can learn more about the project, explore how the technology works, understand the associated benefits for the local area and share your feedback with us as part of the consultation process.
Hydrogen Transition Energy (HTE) is proposing to deliver the UK’s first waste-to-hydrogen facility, using proven energy technology to convert non-recyclable waste into clean, low-carbon hydrogen. The hydrogen produced would be used locally, helping to support local transport networks and other essential services, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and supporting a sustainable, local circular economy, where waste becomes a valuable resource that fuels new opportunities and jobs across Thanet.

About Hydrogen Transition Energy
HTE is a British clean-tech company focused on addressing waste management and carbon emissions challenges currently faced by the UK. HTE is a leading developer in the delivery of a cleaner, smarter future by transforming non-recyclable waste into clean, Fuel Cell grade hydrogen. Using cutting-edge technology, HTE transforms non-recyclable waste into hydrogen, captured CO₂, and inert slag. This process not only diverts waste from landfills and incinerators but also generates low-carbon hydrogen to power the industries and transport systems of the future.
Working in partnership with councils, businesses and communities, we are planning to develop the UK’s first waste-to-hydrogen facility in Manston, Kent. Our technology turns non-recyclable waste into valuable energy, helping to reduce emissions, create skilled local jobs and build a more sustainable future for Thanet and Kent more widely.
