Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether he has made an assessment of the potential merits of providing revenue support for ammonia-to-power projects (a) under the Hydrogen to Production Business Model and (b) through a bespoke business model.

The Hydrogen Production Business Model provides revenue support to selected low carbon hydrogen producers who may sell that hydrogen for a variety of applications including as a feedstock for the production of ammonia.

The Government’s Hydrogen to Power business model is currently focused on delivery of the first regional network where wider infrastructure is supporting hydrogen. We want to ensure integration into the wider hydrogen value chain to ensure the business model provides dispatchable power to the energy system. We will keep the eligibility of ammonia and other hydrogen derivates under review.
