Draft Hydrogen Production Revenue Support (Directions, Eligibility and Counterparty) Regulations 202 – Lord Callanan.
Fourth Delegated Legislation Committee: The draft Hydrogen Production Revenue Support (Directions, Eligibility and Counterparty) Regulations 2023.
Findings of the National Infrastructure Commission that there is no public policy case for hydrogen heating – Baroness Sheehan.
Lord Mountevans: ...on the Middle East, this is a clear opportunity for Latin America. Along with its significant hydroelectric power, major potential for solar and wind generation, and the promise of green hydrogen, Latin America has a great deal going for it—so what is holding it back? It is certainly not China, which has been investing heavily. It recognises the important resources and potential of the...
Vaughan Gething: ...to look at to try to understand what we can do to further support them. Lastly, there is some uncertainty in industry about the decarbonisation of fleets and how to effectively adopt electric and hydrogen-powered vehicles. There is also potential economic opportunity in this area for Wales as well. Our work with industry will focus on what is needed, where it is needed and how we address...
Lord Callanan: ...international investors; we have one of the largest investment flows of green finance into the UK of any industrialised country and one of the largest in Europe. Our sectors—solar, offshore wind, hydrogen and CCUS—are all benefiting from enormous flows of inward investment, which we welcome. The Global Investment Summit a couple of weeks ago saw a further £30 billion of commitments,...
Amanda Solloway: ...a range of net zero obligations on the oil and gas industry, including stepping up efforts to reduce production emissions, supporting carbon capture and storage projects and unlocking clean hydrogen production.
Julie James: ...appropriate. The flexibility included in the Bill is very important. Technology is advancing rapidly, and I am aware of the need to futureproof this new regime. I note the concerns raised around hydrogen in particular and my officials are continuing the engagement with stakeholders on this and other means to store energy. Hydrogen use is captured by the Bill either as a means to generate...
Vaughan Gething: ...on decarbonisation and then the local return we expect to get from that. And we have a number of actors to work with already in electric buses, which I’ve mentioned, but also the potential for hydrogen bus trials in Wales as well. We are convinced that electric vehicles are part of the answer for the future. We're also convinced that hydrogen will have a role to play as well. And so,...
Anthony Browne: ...officials to announce the outcomes of the bid as quickly as possible because, as I said, we want to act quickly for reasons of both climate change and air pollution. Various hon. Members mentioned hydrogen buses. The UK Government are technologically neutral: we have been very careful to try not to say that one technology will work and another technology will not, not least because we do...
Iain Duncan Smith: Yes, I agree. The funny thing, which I raised the other day, is that if we are moving towards low-emission or zero-emission vehicles, electric vehicles, hydrogen-propelled vehicles and so on, which is the generally accepted plan for where we want to be, are we now aiming for road usage by low or net zero vehicles, or is it just a blanket anti-car problem? That is an issue that I never...
Neil Gray: ...know that the Tories care little these days about achieving a pathway to net zero, but the Scottish National Party Government still does. We believe that significant growth in renewables, storage, hydrogen and carbon capture provides the best pathway to net zero for Scotland.

Graham Stuart: ...consider the contents of its latest report carefully. As recognised in the report, the oil and gas industry is well placed to scale up some of the key technologies needed to reach net zero such as hydrogen, carbon capture, and offshore wind.
Màiri McAllan: ...; that our co-chairmanship of the Under2 Coalition supports action and commitments; that our commitment to low-carbon energy and a just transition to net zero, particularly around offshore wind and hydrogen, can influence others to do more to achieve net zero; and that we will advance international relationships, attract investment in Scotland and enhance Scotland’s global reputation,...
Lord Frost: ...way to solve our economic problems, that vast taxpayer subsidies to all kinds of politically favoured industries—productive, or more often not—such as semiconductors, windmills, batteries, the hydrogen boondoggle, electric cars, zero-carbon steel or aviation are going to solve our economic problems, despite all the evidence that government direction of the economy never works out well....

Julie James: ...but, as usual, you feel the need to run us down. So, let me tell you what we are actually doing, and perhaps you could talk it up a bit. And you’re very welcome to come to Swansea and get on the hydrogen bus that they're running there, for example. [Interruption.] Exactly. So, we've awarded funding worth more than £2.6 million and other support to projects across Wales through the smart...
