Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he is taking to support (a) clean hydrogen generation, (b) the use of hydrogen in (i) heavy industry and (ii) transportation and (c) the (A) skills and (B) infrastructure required for the hydrogen economy.

The Government is delivering revenue support to hydrogen production through the Hydrogen Production Business Model. This is being combined with demand-side measures including innovation and capital funding for industrial and transport users, as well as the development of environmental requirements on fuel-use and emissions.

In addition our National Wealth Fund will directly invest in ports, hydrogen and industrial clusters across the country, including £500 million to support the manufacturing of green hydrogen. And we will reward clean energy developers with a British Jobs Bonus.
