Britain lacks a clear hydrogen strategy

Last month, the EAC held an evidence session on hydrogen as part of their inquiry into technological innovation and climate change.

Based on this evidence, Philipp Dunne, MP and chairman of the committee has written to Business Secretary Alok Sharma, stating that although the UK has the expertise to scale up low-carbon hydrogen, it lags behind other nations such as Australia, Canada and Japan who have all launched ambitious strategies.

‘The Committee heard time and again during evidence that the UK’s lack of a Hydrogen Strategy by Government is holding back efforts to make scaling up hydrogen production a reality.
