question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if she will make an assessment of the viability of hydrogen as an industrial fuel.
tabling member constituency	Rother Valley
tabling member printed	Alexander Stafford
uin	13160
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/02/2024 answer text <p>Low carbon hydrogen is likely to be a leading option to decarbonise industrial processes that are harder or more expensive to electrify. We expect uptake of hydrogen via fuel switching of energy intensive sites, as well as those engaging in high temperature, direct-fired processes. Near-term opportunities for hydrogen conversion include high temperature steam boilers and combined heat and power (CHP) processes in sectors such as chemicals and refineries, especially in industrial clusters with early access to hydrogen.</p> answering member constituency West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine answering member printed Andrew Bowie question first answered 13/02/2024 14:14:49 answering member 4601 label Biography information for Andrew Bowie

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/02/2024 answer text <p>Our ambition is for 10GW low carbon hydrogen production capacity by 2030. In December we announced eleven major new hydrogen projects across the UK, and our Hydrogen Production Delivery Roadmap sets out proposals for annual allocation rounds from 2025 to 2030, helping to provide certainty for industry. To link up production and demand, we have announced our initial ambition for the first allocation rounds of the hydrogen transport and storage business models to be launched in 2024. This will support up to two storage projects at scale and associated regional pipeline infrastructure to be in operation or construction by 2030.</p> answering member constituency West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine answering member printed Andrew Bowie question first answered 13/02/2024 14:15:49 answering member 4601 label Biography information for Andrew Bowie

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/02/2024 answer text <p>Electrolytic ‘green’ hydrogen projects are delivered through our annual Hydrogen Allocation Rounds (HARs). In December we announced HAR1 would support 125MW of production capacity across 11 projects. We aim to support up to 875MW through HAR2, giving up to 1GW green hydrogen production capacity in operation or construction by 2025. The level of production in each year will depend on the outcome of HARs, operational dates for projects and their individual operating patterns. We aim to have up to 6GW of green hydrogen production capacity by 2030, while by 2050 hydrogen could supply up to 35% of UK energy consumption.</p> answering member constituency West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine answering member printed Andrew Bowie question first answered 13/02/2024 14:55:10 answering member 4601 label Biography information for Andrew Bowie

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/02/2024 answer text <p>Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is a non-means-tested benefit available to disabled people regardless of their employment status. The PIP assessment focuses on a claimant’s ability to carry out a range of activities which are fundamental to living an independent life. It is designed to help working aged people with the extra costs associated with their disability. It does not assess a claimant's ability to work.</p><p>PIP assessment providers (APs) are required to ensure that all health professionals (HPs) carrying out assessments undergo comprehensive training in the functional assessment to become experts in disability analysis, focusing on the effects of health conditions and impairments on the individual claimant's daily life.</p><p>Whilst HPs do not receive specific training relating to Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, they have access to a range of resources as well as experienced clinicians who can support them in assessing individuals with conditions that they may not be familiar with. HPs also keep their knowledge up to date through continuous professional development and APs engage with medical experts, charities, and relevant stakeholders to strengthen their training programmes.</p><p>The Health and Disability White Paper committed to developing the skills of HPs. In addition, we have started a small-scale proof-of-concept test matching certain claimants' primary health condition to an existing HP with relevant clinical experience. As part of this, we are exploring opportunities for HPs to undertake additional training.</p> answering member constituency Mid Sussex answering member printed Mims Davies question first answered 06/02/2024 17:30:04 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies
