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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what recent steps he has taken to help support businesses that export hydrogen.

The Government is working with industry to assess strengths and capabilities in UK supply chains to help them benefit from the emerging global hydrogen economy and capitalise on export opportunities as they arise. In its British Energy Security Strategy, the Government doubled the UK’s hydrogen production ambition to up to 10GW installed capacity by 2030, driven by policies including the Hydrogen Business Model and Net Zero Hydrogen Fund. The primary objective of these policies is to kickstart the UK’s low carbon hydrogen economy.
