Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what steps his Department is taking to help ensure that the UK maximises the potential economic opportunities of low carbon hydrogen and carbon capture, usage and storage.

The Government has committed to publishing a Sector Development Action Plan to set out how government and industry will support UK companies to seize supply chain opportunities, skills and jobs across the hydrogen economy. In addition, the Government’s aim to capture and store 20-30 MtCO2 per year by 2030 will offer significant opportunities for investment and UK exports.
