hydrogen projects, including those that are ready for very near-term deployment. In
addition we are undertaking extensive stakeholder engagement as we develop new policy
to help bring forward the technologies and supply chain we will need to grow the UK
hydrogen economy.</p><p> </p><p>We recently published the Energy Innovation Needs
Assessment (EINA) for hydrogen and fuel cells which identified that up to 15,000 jobs
per annum by 2050 could be created through domestic hydrogen opportunities.</p><p>

industry to discuss and drive development if the UK hydrogen economy. This will consider
how we can best work together to retain and expand jobs and skills in hydrogen and
related sectors; as well as developing the UK supply chain.</p>
