Government Response Acknowledged
HM Government Acknowledged
The UK Government recognises the important potential role for hydrogen storage in providing broader energy security. Our commitment to designing a hydrogen storage business model will support the development of hydrogen storage infrastructure which will in turn strengthen our energy security. Alongside this, we will continue to consider whether further regulatory or other interventions are required to support hydrogen storage, including its role in providing energy security.
