question text	To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 11 June to Question 150632 on Motor Vehicles: Hydrogen, whether the difference between his Government’s allocation of £30 million for hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle refuelling and £200 million for battery electric vehicle charging infrastructure in the Charging Infrastructure Investment Fund reflects a departmental preference on future transport choices.
tabling member constituency	Wakefield
tabling member printed	Mary Creagh
uin	152703
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/06/2018 answer text The government’s approach to future transport choices is technology neutral and we seek to encourage different forms of technology wherever available. Hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) are zero emission vehicles and have the potential to play a significant role, alongside battery electric vehicles, in improving air quality and decarbonising road transport. The development and deployment of FCEVs is at an earlier stage than for battery electric vehicles, and policy measures reflect differing levels of market maturity. answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 15/06/2018 09:38:39 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick

question text	To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, for what reason hydrogen refuelling infrastructure has not been included in the Charging Investment Infrastructure Fund.
tabling member constituency	Wakefield
tabling member printed	Mary Creagh
uin	150632
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/06/2018 answer text <p>The purpose of the Charging Infrastructure Investment Fund is to catalyse private sector investment into the electric vehicle chargepoint network. Electric vehicle infrastructure is at a different stage of market development to hydrogen and currently has sufficient viable commercial propositions which is suitable for investments of this type.</p><p>The government is committed to introducing appropriately targeted interventions in hydrogen to support its growth as a transport fuel in the UK. The government has allocated £30m funding to increase the uptake of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and roll out more cutting edge infrastructure – part of this funding has now been awarded to a successful consortium bid which will see additional hydrogen refuelling stations being built as well as upgrades to existing refuelling infrastructure. In addition, government funding has supported the opening of the UK’s first integrated forecourt hydrogen refuelling station at the Shell Beaconsfield site, making it the first location in the country selling hydrogen fuel as well as petrol and diesel.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick grouped question UIN 150604 question first answered 11/06/2018 16:04:52 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick
