Conclusion
There appear to be opportunities and advantages in the UK accelerating its decarbonisation of the economy by focusing on hydrogen and becoming a leader in low- carbon hydrogen production, distribution, and deployment for multiple purposes. But, as discussed in this Report there are still uncertainties which entail the risk that technologies do not prove reliable in time, or require excessive costs for consumers and taxpayers. We welcome the Hydrogen Sector Development Action Plan as a step towards making these choices.
Government Response Summary
The government states that the Sector Development Action Plan (SDAP) sets out actions to maximize the benefits to the UK from the development of the hydrogen economy, focusing on attracting investment, supporting supply chains, developing skills, and securing trade opportunities.
