Recommendation
The Government should commit to a pilot of hydrogen-based steel production in the UK as part of its industrial decarbonisation strategy. Funding for the project should be sought in partnership with interested steel businesses or backed in part by the Clean Steel Fund. The Government should further consult on the most appropriate location for the pilot which would deliver the widest benefit for industry as a whole.
Government Response Summary
The government's response addresses general concerns about high gas and electricity prices and ongoing industry engagement, completely failing to address the recommendation for a pilot of hydrogen-based steel production.
