To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he plans to take to support the home-grown hydrogen fuel cell sector in the proposed Hydrogen strategy.
Sarah Jones
Minister of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero), Minister of State (Department for Business and Trade)
The Industrial Strategy, through the 10 Year Clean Energy Industries Sector Plan, already backs hydrogen as a frontier technology. It clarifies how Government will capitalise on the enormous growth and jobs potential. The associated Action Plan gives the green light to industry investors and the supply chain. It provides a clear deployment timeline for our hydrogen allocation rounds and announces new investment rounds and policies to turbocharge growth in the sector.
Our Hydrogen Strategy, which we intend to publish in Autumn 2025, will build on this long-term infrastructure investment to realise the value of the hydrogen economy for the UK, optimising the job creation and economic benefits that brings.
