answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/11/2022 answer text <p>As the UK hydrogen economy is in the very early stages of development, it is not yet possible to put a precise figure on the number of jobs created through the growth of low carbon hydrogen since the publication of the Ten Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution. However, the UK's hydrogen ambition – 10GW of production capacity by 2030, with at least half from electrolytic hydrogen – offers significant economic opportunities. The Government analysis suggests the sector could be worth over £900m, support 12,000 jobs and unlock over £9bn in private investment by 2030.</p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 01/11/2022 18:20:56 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart
