	uin	27595
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/07/2022 answer text <p>The most common form of converting methane into hydrogen is through steam or thermal reformation. Plasma technology could also be used to convert methane into hydrogen, but this has not yet been proven at commercial scale. This was not one of the hydrogen production routes modelled to support the development of the UK Low Carbon Hydrogen Standard as this was not considered to be amongst the main potential routes for production in the UK pipeline and lacked broadly available emissions data. As set out in the standard, the Government welcomes evidence from stakeholders on emerging technologies and potential production routes that could contribute to the UK’s future net zero energy system.</p> answering member constituency Chelsea and Fulham answering member printed Greg Hands question first answered 04/07/2022 15:24:15 answering member 1526 label Biography information for Greg Hands
