The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that home-grown hydrogen fuel cell developers are supported by the (a) Modern Industrial Strategy and (b) Clean Energy Industries sector plan.

Answered by Sarah Jones

As part of the Modern Industrial Strategy, the Government’s Clean Energy Industries Sector Plan re-iterates our commitment to driving long-term, sustainable growth in hydrogen. It provides deployment certainty with clear timelines for future deployment and clarifies how Government will capitalise on the enormous growth and jobs potential. It includes our ambition to ensure hydrogen benefits from the comprehensive public finance institution support package for clean energy industries including a £1 billion Great British Energy supply chain fund and empowering the National Wealth Fund with £27.8 billion in capital.
