We will also streamline offshore wind consenting processes and continue to implement our hydrogen action plan. I continue to appeal to the UK Government, which holds the substantial levers over tax and financial incentives, to use those powers to unleash and accelerate the renewables...
David Duguid: ...of all offshore energy activity will be carried out to ensure that we are maximising investment opportunities in critical energy infrastructure such as offshore wind, carbon capture and storage and hydrogen, as well as—while we still need it—domestic oil and gas?
Ian Paisley Jnr: ...as he possibly could about Northern Ireland, and he used that information wisely and, on many occasions, powerfully in this House. I hope he continues to maintain that interest, particularly in the hydrogen technologies that he looked at in Northern Ireland, in his new role. I wish him all the very best.

Earl Howe: ...site. The Government are already testing the best approaches to plan the future heating of towns through proposals in the Energy Bill on heat network zoning and technology innovation funding for hydrogen heating. Let me be clear to the noble Baroness: networked ground source heat pumps are within the scope of the heat network zoning proposals, and we envision that these projects will be...
Baroness Hayman of Ullock: ...and help the country to rebuild the economy. It gives us the opportunity to invest in manufacturing and factories—for example, to build batteries for electric vehicles—to develop a thriving hydrogen industry and to increase the manufacture of wind turbines here in the UK. We see this as a huge opportunity, and we also believe the UK should have the ambition to be a world-leading clean...

Graham Stuart: ...on 24 June 2022. If adopted, the modernised Treaty would have a stronger focus on promoting clean, affordable energy, including technologies like Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS), hydrogen and other renewables. Modernised terms would also strengthen the UK Government’s sovereign right to change its energy system to reach net zero. The decision to adopt the modernised ECT...
