Ministerial foreword
This Government is taking action to unlock private investment in hydrogen.
Introduction
Our energy system is undergoing significant change.
The Government’s action plan to unlock private investment in hydrogen
The Government’s focus is on unlocking market-led private investment in hydrogen.
Priority: Create an enabling regulatory environment
The Government is setting rules that enable markets to choose the best technology for their needs, while keeping workers and the public safe.
Priority: Reduce barriers for consenting hydrogen projects
Renewable electricity supply is key to affordable green hydrogen at scale. The Government is making it faster and cheaper to consent renewables projects.
Priority: Promote a cost-effective and market-led transition to a low-emissions economy
The Government is taking a cost-effective approach to meeting our Net Zero 2050 goals.
Priority: Support access to international investment and markets
Our access to markets increasingly depends on being able to demonstrate that our products and their supply chains are low-emissions.
