Several countries including Germany, Japan and Singapore have well developed hydrogen strategies with significant public funding to support the development of infrastructure, production and use of low-carbon hydrogen. Through public- private partnerships, Germany and Japan have structures intended to enable the development of a regulatory framework and provide confidence to consumers for private investment. The UK’s main international competitors in this field also tend to have specific bodies responsible for the delivery of their government’s targets. Given the evidence received on the importance of whole systems performance, the Government should designate or create a single department or agency with responsibility and accountability for delivering cross-departmental Net Zero commitments, including those relating to delivering the hydrogen strategy.
