Department for Transport written question – answered at on 12 June 2023.
Bill Esterson
Shadow Minister (Business and Industrial Strategy)
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment his Department has made of the potential merits of establishing Hydrogen transport hubs.
Jesse Norman
Minister of State (Department for Transport)
The Tees Valley Hydrogen Transport Hub is the Department for Transport’s dedicated hydrogen R&D programme. The Hub has established links between industry and government, and is collocating hydrogen supply and demand by deploying refuelling infrastructure and vehicles in the Tees Valley. These demonstrations are expected to generate lessons for other areas seeking to decarbonise transport using hydrogen.
The Tees Valley Hub is a blueprint, with an evaluation framework which focuses on sharing information to support other regions. This includes lessons for reaching commercial maturity of infrastructure and vehicles, where hydrogen can work well across transport modes and what skills are needed to support the decarbonisation transition.
