Recommendation
The Government should commit to a pilot of hydrogen-based steel production in the UK as part of its industrial decarbonisation strategy. Funding for the project should be sought in partnership with interested steel businesses or backed in part by the Clean Steel Fund. The Government should further consult on the most appropriate location for the pilot which would deliver the widest benefit for industry as a whole.

43. We recognise this is a worrying time for businesses facing pressures due to the significant increases in global gas prices, and the subsequent increases in electricity prices. Extensive engagement with industry continues across Government at both a ministerial and official level.
