The Department has been considering with industry experts, and colleagues in the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, potential changes to the RTFO scheme to further support renewable hydrogen.

Development fuels including hydrogen are strategically important and can deliver higher greenhouse gas reduction emissions.

Any future legislative proposals to amend the RTFO scheme would be subject to both a public consultation and to collective ministerial agreement.
