Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether he plans to ban the import of Russian produced hydrogen sourced from methane; and whether he has made an assessment of the available options to achieve that.

The Government is not aware of any significant imports of hydrogen produced in Russia to the UK. The Government is focussed on developing the hydrogen economy in the UK and working with industry to achieve 5GW of low-carbon hydrogen production capacity in the UK by 2030.
