<p>My Rt. Hon. Friend the Prime Minister’s Ten Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution
and subsequent Energy White Paper, set out that the Government, working with industry,
is aiming for 5GW of low carbon hydrogen production capacity in the UK by 2030. In
support of this we have also announced a £240m Net Zero Hydrogen Fund for capital
co-investment in new low carbon hydrogen production, to bring forward a combination
of CCUS-enabled ‘blue’ hydrogen and electrolytic ‘green’ hydrogen projects.</p><p>
</p><p>We have also committed to consulting on a preferred hydrogen business model
in 2021 and will bring forward further details this year on the revenue mechanism
to bring through private sector investment via our new business models. Again, our
business model work will focus on supporting both green and blue hydrogen.</p><p>
</p><p>I meet with my Rt. Hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Transport regularly
to discuss all aspects of transport decarbonisation including the role for green hydrogen.
A good example of cross departmental working is the recent announcement in the spending
review of £3 million to support the development of the UKs first Hydrogen Transport
Hub in Tees Valley.</p><p> </p>
