Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what steps she is taking to facilitate the development of a UK hydrogen export market.
The Department for International Trade (DIT) has a dedicated hydrogen team who, as part of their ongoing work, keep regular assessments of international hydrogen markets under review. DIT has energy teams in all key hydrogen markets, with the direct purpose of increasing business for UK energy companies, including companies in the hydrogen sector. DIT is in regular discussion with governments overseas to understand where there are opportunities for greater co-operation, and where there are opportunities for closer working, we will look to capitalise on these.
