Hydrogen

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if he will set out a timetable to publish the Hydrogen Strategy update.

Answered by Michael Shanks

The renewed Hydrogen Strategy will set out Government’s vision and objectives for hydrogen, and how we intend to work together with industry to continue to transform ambition into action. Our understanding of where hydrogen can deliver the greatest value in our energy system has matured and our strategy will set this out.

We’re now firmly in delivery mode, supporting projects that will create real jobs and growth across the UK, while contributing to the Government’s ambition to make the UK a clean energy superpower.

We plan to publish a renewed Hydrogen Strategy, alongside a package of other hydrogen policy documents as soon as possible.
