Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what assessment she has made of the implications for the Government's policies of steps being taken by the German and Australian Governments to establish a supply chain of hydrogen; and what steps she is taking to build trade links between the UK and other countries to create new export opportunities for UK hydrogen technologies.
Answered by Graham Stuart
The Department for International Trade (DIT) has a dedicated hydrogen team who, as part of their ongoing work, keep regular assessments of international hydrogen markets under review, including the Australian and German markets. DIT has energy teams in all key hydrogen markets, with the direct purpose of increasing business for UK energy companies, including companies in the hydrogen sector. DIT is in regular discussion with governments overseas to understand where there are opportunities for greater co-operation, and where there are opportunities for closer working, and we will look to capitalise on these.
