Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking to attract private sector investment to increase the number of hydrogen refuelling stations.
The Department for Transport has launched a number of technology agnostic match-funding programmes across modes, attracting private sector investment in zero emission solutions (for which hydrogen and its associated infrastructure have been eligible). One of the biggest lessons learned from these programmes has been to ensure that hydrogen supply, including refuelling stations, and fleet demand are matched.
