<p>The Government is committed to exploring the option of hydrogen as a strategic
decarbonised energy carrier. In line with this we are currently investing up to £121
million in hydrogen innovation, supporting a range of projects exploring the potential
of low carbon hydrogen across the value chain. Alongside our innovation activity,
we will be engaging with Industry on the design of a £100m Low Carbon Hydrogen Fund
in 2020. In addition, we are conducting further stakeholder engagement, notably around
building sustainable business models to support hydrogen production. These programmes
will be delivered during the period 2020/21 to 2025/26, and further budgetary decisions
will be taken in due course.</p>
