UK Government launches hydrogen strategy

The UK Government has today launched its Hydrogen Strategy.
 
Responding, Helen Melone, Senior Policy Manager at Scottish Renewables, said:

"We welcome the publication of the UK's first Hydrogen Strategy, positioning the UK as a world leader in a promising growth sector which links renewable energy and net-zero ever more closely.

"It is important that government does not take its eye off the prize here: green hydrogen, made using electrolysis powered by renewables like wind, solar, tidal and more, is set to play a key role in decarbonising the global energy system, and concentrating on developing supply and a market for it now should be governments’ top priority in this area.

"Scotland – the windiest country in Europe – has an exciting role to play on hydrogen and work to deliver this ambitious Strategy should recognise the key role the country will play in realising the UK’s hydrogen economy and net-zero targets."
