Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking to help increase the use of hydrogen in the transport system.

The Department is supporting the transition to low carbon fuels, including hydrogen and its derivatives, in transport through the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO), the Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Mandate and the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Mandate.

Alongside this, the Department is advancing hydrogen research, development and demonstration through programmes such as the Zero Emission HGV and Infrastructure Demonstrator (ZEHID), the UK Shipping Office for Reducing Emissions (UK SHORE), the Advanced Fuels Fund, the Zero Emission Flight (ZEF) Demonstrator Challenge and the Civil Aviation Authority’s Hydrogen in Aviation Regulatory Challenge.

The Government will publish a renewed Hydrogen Strategy in 2026 to sharpen priorities and deepen industry collaboration.
