Recommendation
To meet the 2050 Net Zero target, decisions need to be urgently taken by the Government, which will help define hydrogen’s place in the UK’s overall decarbonisation strategy. These decisions should be integrated across Government, in policy areas such as those identified in the Ten Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution. Decisions on hydrogen should be made in an international context and take into consideration the approaches of other countries both in terms of lessons to be learned and collaborations to be pursued. The Government should, in the next two months, outline a series of decision points between now and 2050 that will determine the role of hydrogen in the UK, in each policy area identified in the Ten Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution. This should be accompanied by an outline of the scientific and technological progress that needs to be made to allow hydrogen to play its part in our energy system.
