Nuclear Energy: Hydrogen Production Targets
Debate between Lord Teverson and Lord Fowler
The Lord Speaker (Lord Fowler)
My Lords, can we keep questions short please?
Lord Teverson (LD) [V]
My Lords, I draw attention to my interests in Aldustria Ltd. Surely to use an extremely expensive form of energy such as nuclear power to produce another form of energy such as hydrogen, with all the efficiency losses that that entails, cannot make sense. With the Prime Minister’s call for a massive increase in offshore renewables, surely what we need now is not more baseload energy but counter variable, flexible sources such as interconnectors, demand response and energy storage.
