Consultation description
Hydrogen can play a key enabling role in energy security on our path to net zero by 2050 and create a new economic opportunity with the creation of alternative fuels, new technologies and the development of skills that will be needed to serve this market both here and across the world.
Responses to the consultation from stakeholders will inform the final policy on hydrogen. This will in turn feed into the development of an action plan for the local hydrogen industry.
