<p>My Rt hon Friend the Prime Minister’s Ten Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution
will mobilise £12 billion of government investment to unlock three times as much private
sector investment by 2030. The Ten Point Plan and Energy White Paper both set out
that the Government, working with industry, aims to have 5GW of low carbon hydrogen
production capacity in the UK by 2030.</p><p> </p><p>The Government will publish a
dedicated Hydrogen Strategy in the first half of this year. This will offer more detail
on how we will work with industry to meet the 2030 ambition.</p><p> </p><p>Driving
the growth of low carbon hydrogen could deliver support for up to 8,000 jobs by 2030,
potentially unlocking up to 100,000 domestic and export jobs by 2050 in a high hydrogen
scenario.</p><p> </p><p>To ensure we have the skilled workforce to deliver net zero,
including our commitments on hydrogen, the government has launched the Green Jobs
Taskforce, working in partnership with business, skills providers and unions, to help
develop plans for new long-term good quality, green jobs by 2030.</p><p> </p>
