Action Plan for Electrolytic Hydrogen
Production • Securing sufficient UK hydrogen production capacity is critical to facilitating a stable and growing supply of green hydrogen, and accelerating the growth of the hydrogen economy.
• With our current target of at least 6GW electrolytic hydrogen production capacity by 2030, the challenge now is less so about if the commitment to hydrogen is there and more so about how it will be achieved. How subsidy mechanisms and regulatory standards evolve will be key. Demand
• The extent to which future hydrogen demand can be effectively aligned with production, whilst accelerating the pace of rollout, will determine the success of the hydrogen economy on a national and an international scale.
• The ultimate challenge with hydrogen demand is how users can be incentivized to switch from fossil fuels to hydrogen, and in doing so trust an emerging technology to provide a reliable supply of energy in the medium to long term
