Hydrogen: Storage and Transport
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what criteria he will use to decide the location of the UK’s first integrated hydrogen transport and storage network.
Answered by Michael Shanks
Officials are progressing the design of both the business models and the Regional Hydrogen Network competition at pace. Criteria are being developed to select the most strategically beneficial location for the first regional hydrogen network. As part of this, we expect to assess deliverability of the transport and storage projects involved, value for money, potential contribution to decarbonisation of key industrial and power sectors, and wider economic benefits such as contribution to green job creation and economic growth.
