answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/03/2019 answer text <p>I welcome the contribution this study makes to the evidence base on the potential approaches to decarbonising how we heat our homes, businesses and industry. There is no clear consensus on how best to decarbonise heat at scale. Using the gas grid to transport hydrogen is one of several potential approaches, which include heat networks, heat pumps and biogas. The government's review of the evidence base on approaches to decarbonising heat is set out in our report ‘Clean Growth: Transforming Heating’.</p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 22/03/2019 07:23:29 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/03/2019 answer text <p>HyDeploy is funded under Ofgem’s Gas Network Innovation Competition and is being delivered by the HyDeploy consortium, led by Cadent and Northern Gas Networks. Officials are following the progress of the project closely and will review the project when it finishes in 2020. More broadly, the Government is exploring hydrogen’s potential to deliver against its clean growth goals across the energy system and the wider economy. Specifically, in the case of transport, the approach has been to support the market in its early stages, by funding the deployment of Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles with the appropriate hydrogen refuelling infrastructure.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 22/03/2019 12:23:43 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
