To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, when he plans to publish the consultation on the expansion of the Clean Industry Bonus to the hydrogen sector.
Michael Shanks
Minister of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero), Minister of State (Department for Business and Trade)
As set out in the Clean Energy Industries Sector Plan, we are considering expanding the Clean Industry Bonus to hydrogen and will consult on any proposals. We are currently developing a new Hydrogen Strategy and will provide an update on this in due course.
In addition to considering the Clean Industry Bonus, we have a strong offer for domestic manufacturing including support from our Public Finance Institutions and deployment certainty through Hydrogen Allocation Rounds (HARs). Additionally, we welcome the industry-led voluntary ambition of 50% UK local content for hydrogen across the value chain from 2030.
