Lord Naseby: ...£65 billion to replace the internal grid to all our homes in the United Kingdom, is it not more appropriate that the resources we do have should be used for research such as that into the mix of hydrogen with LPG to see whether it can be used in the existing pipelines available to every house in the country?
Greg Knight: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent assessment he has made of the potential effectiveness of hydrogenated vegetable oil as a fuel source for NHS vehicles; and what his Department's planned timescale is for (a) assessing the results of its trial on its potential use and (b) publishing its conclusions.
Huw Merriman: ...of the Transpennine route between Manchester, Leeds and York, the Midland Mainline and the route between Wigan and Bolton. Electrification, alongside alternative technologies such as hydrogen, battery and bi-modes, will play an important role in meeting our Net Zero targets. We are working with the Great British Rail Transition Team to bring forward costed options to decarbonise the whole...
Viscount Trenchard: ...s HTGR technology, which JAEA showcased for commercial development at the IAEA conference in Vienna in 2019, is arguably the most flexible and best potential source of industrial heat, energy and hydrogen. The NLL is now working with JAEA on developing a demonstrator by the early 2030s. This could be an exciting new Japanese-British project and would mitigate the disappointment resulting...
Humza Yousaf: ...from offshore wind. I welcome developers’ commitment to invest an average of £1.5 billion per project in the Scottish economy. We are embracing the opportunities that our flourishing clean hydrogen sector will bring, which will help to support jobs, boost energy security and open export potential. Our finalised energy strategy and just transition plan will set out how we can maximise...
Patrick Harvie: ...UK Government for more urgent action to enable delivery in Scotland, to address market disincentives to switching to zero-emission heat, and to accelerate decision making on the potential role of hydrogen. We have clear ambitions to decarbonise buildings faster and we offer significantly more support for heat pumps and other zero-emission heating systems than other parts of the UK, but we...
Neil Gray: ...strategy will set out how the Scottish Government will help businesses and investors to realise the enormous economic opportunities of the global transition in key sectors such as offshore wind and hydrogen.
Barry Sheerman: ...potential in the Cabinet Office to influence every Department of State. From my perspective, as a passionate supporter of sustainable transport and particularly the revolution that is coming in hydrogen power, I see an inert Department not pushing other Departments to do better. Could they wake up and do something about this?
Henry Smith: ...his moral support, Madam Deputy Speaker, even though by your order he is unable to vocalise it. On my support for sustainable aviation, I was pleased to host and address a new industry alliance, Hydrogen in Aviation, just last night here in Parliament. The alliance is designed to help the UK lead innovation in that field. That would, along with duty-free on arrival, better support our...
Virginia Crosbie: ...Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether she has made an assessment of the potential merits of implementing a programme to inform the public about the potential contribution of hydrogen to (a) domestic heating, (b) transport and (c) carbon reduction.
Virginia Crosbie: To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether she is taking steps to encourage inward investment for (a) components and (b) other equipment to enable the scaling up of low carbon hydrogen.
Gillian Martin: ...that we generated enough green electricity to power Scotland, but also mean exporting increasing amounts of low-carbon energy to our neighbours and supplying new markets, such as the emerging hydrogen economy.
Clause 62 - Direction to offer to contract with eligible hydrogen transport provider
Clause 64 - Direction to offer to contract with eligible hydrogen storage provider
...or other published documents (as they have effect from time to time).”—(Claire Coutinho.) This amendment makes it clear that regulations defining “eligible” in relation to a low carbon hydrogen producer may make reference to documents external to the regulations, as the documents have effect from time to time.
...11, leave out “and storage”. This amendment and Amendment 129 clarify that the Secretary of State is authorised to provide financial assistance for either or both of transport and storage of hydrogen. Amendment 129, page 115, line 11, at end insert— “(e) storage of hydrogen.” See the explanatory statement for Amendment 128. Amendment 71, page 115, line 27, leave out paragraph (f)...
Clause 139 - Conditions of gas transporter licences for conveyance of hydrogen
Amendments made: 104, page 283, line 32, at end insert— “(za) in Chapter 1 of Part 2— (i) section 56; (ii) sections 57 and 58, so far as relating to hydrogen production revenue support contracts and a hydrogen production counterparty; (iii) sections 65 and 66; (iv) section 81(1) to (3), so far as relating to a designation under section 65; (v) section 83, so far as relating to hydrogen...
Chris Grayling: ...fuel is vital as the world decarbonises, not only because it is an essential first step towards decarbonisation, but in the long term—not for short-haul flights, which I think will be powered by hydrogen; by the 2030s, we will start to see short-haul hydrogen planes in operation. However, there is no technological approach yet that will take us to Australia or North America using...
Baroness Sheehan: My Lords, this July, residents of Whitby in Ellesmere Port vetoed plans to be one of two proposed sites for hydrogen village trials out of safety concerns—concerns which were extremely well-founded, I might add, given that hydrogen is the lightest element in the periodic table and notoriously difficult to control. I have two questions. Can the Minister confirm that the residents of Redcar...
