Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the UK’s competitive advantage in hydrogen and fuel cell technologies, compared to European counterparts.

The UK is optimally positioned to support a thriving hydrogen economy with UK companies at the forefront of hydrogen technology development.

Our approach to hydrogen balances comprehensive funding support with long-term stability, which continues to unlock significant investment.

The EU, and individual EU member states, are important partners for our shared ambitions to scale up our hydrogen sectors quickly and create opportunities for UK companies. And, as the UK Trade Strategy makes clear, supporting our businesses to grow through trade is key to future economic growth.
