Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Wera Hobhouse and Kwasi Kwarteng

Tuesday 22nd October 2019 Commons Chamber

[Kwasi Kwarteng]

My desire and propensity to visit all these installations know no bounds, and I should be very happy—diary permitting, obviously—to take up my hon. Friend’s offer.

[Wera Hobhouse (Bath) (LD)]

Does the Minister agree that hydrogen should be made from renewables via electrolysis in the medium and long term?

[Kwasi Kwarteng]

The hon. Lady is right to point to the advantages of hydrogen, but, as she will understand, the issue with electrolysis is that it is currently very expensive, so the green hydrogen to which she has referred is something that we are continuing to develop.
