<p>Low carbon hydrogen could play a vital role in meeting the UK’s net zero greenhouse
gas emissions target by 2050, supporting both our Industrial Strategy and the revitalisation
of the economies of the UK’s industrial areas.</p><p> </p><p>Government is committed
to exploring hydrogen’s potential through up to £108 million in innovation funding
and £100 million to deploy low carbon hydrogen production capacity. The Government
has also committed to invest £800 million to build the first fully deployed CCUS cluster
by the mid-2020s and £500 million to help energy-intensive industries move to low-carbon
techniques, which could include the use of hydrogen.</p><p> </p><p>Hydrogen is likely
to play an important role in achieving the Industrial Clusters Mission, creating the
world’s first net zero industrial cluster by 2040 and at least one low carbon cluster
by 2030. This is supported by up to £170 million from the Industrial Strategy Challenge
Fund to support the deployment of low carbon technologies and enabling infrastructure
in one or more clusters.</p>
