March 20 (Reuters) - Energy companies Lhyfe  LHYFE.PA 
and Centrica  CNA.L  signed on Monday a memorandum of
understanding (MoU) to co-develop offshore renewable green
hydrogen for the first time in the United Kingdom.
    Under the agreement, both firms will collaborate on a pilot
green hydrogen production site in the Southern North Sea, Lhyfe
said in a statement.
    An additional partnership will also be assessed to deploy
the technology at commercial scale alongside offshore wind
electricity production, Lhyfe said.
    The UK plans to produce 10GW of low-carbon hydrogen by 2030,
at least half of which will be made from hydrogen generated by
renewable energy, or green hydrogen, to support the
decarbonisation of industrial clusters.
