Part 3: Licensing of Hydrogen Pipeline Projects Section 140: Conditions of gas transporter licences for conveyance of hydrogen
Subsection (2) of this section provides that conditions described in subsection (3) may be included in a gas transporter licence so far as it authorises a person to convey hydrogen through pipes in connection with the carrying on of a hydrogen pipeline project (a "relevant licence" as defined by subsection (1)). These conditions include mandating that a licence holder comply with a direction requiring it to share with a "candidate" information in relation to the activities authorised by the licence.
	The candidate can be an applicant, or potential applicant, for a relevant licence, or a person considering whether to apply for financial support for activities relating to the production, transportation, storage or use of hydrogen (for example, the hydrogen production business model).
	Subsection (4) sets out limitations to modifications of the conditions of relevant licences under section 8(3) of the Gas Act 1986. In granting a relevant licence, the Secretary of State or the GEMA (as appropriate) may only modify conditions of that licence under section 8(3) of the Gas Act 1986 if they are of the opinion that the licence holder would not be unduly disadvantaged in competing with other holders of relevant licences, and no other holder of a relevant licence would be unduly disadvantaged in competing with other holders of such licences (including the holder of the licence to be modified).
