Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will take further steps to support hydrogen combustion engine technology.

Hydrogen combustion engines offer the potential to decarbonise part of the transport sectors where battery electric is not t a viable solution. The Government has recently supported JCB, for example, to test new hydrogen combustion machinery on the public highway, as well as supported research into the liquid hydrogen combustion for aviation engines.
