Recommendation 24

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.
