The Government notes this recommendation. The Government has a pipeline of committed low carbon hydrogen projects and is actively exploring ways to supply some of this hydrogen to shipping, either as hydrogen or as hydrogen derivatives. The manufacture of low carbon and zero, and near-zero GHG emission fuel for shipping in the UK is a complex issue and the competitiveness of the UK as a future maritime fuel producer in a nascent international market is not yet fully understood. However, the Government is already supporting low carbon maritime and industrial clusters such as Net Zero Teesside or Zero Carbon Humber. Government has supported innovation in zero-emission marine fuels through the £206m UK Shipping Office for Reducing Emissions (UK SHORE) programme, in which over 40% of projects feature zero GHG emission marine fuels across the first four rounds of the Clean Maritime Demonstration Competitions and Zero Emission Vessels and Infrastructure schemes.
